With storm season on the way, the Resilient Building Council and City of Gold Coast are hosting a free expo to help households find practical, budget-friendly ways to make their homes safer in wild weather. It’s worth the drive down from the northern suburbs, and a good one to share with your staff and customers.
Event details
- Saturday 7 November 2026, 2–4.30pm
- Southport Community Centre, 6 Lawson Street, Southport
- Free and all ages welcome, with door prizes, giveaways and light refreshments
What’s on
- Practical advice from resilience experts on preparing your home and garden for floods, severe storms, cyclones, heatwaves and bushfires
- Meet builders, tradespeople and resilient product suppliers, and see products and materials up close
- Hear from local households, plus information on insurance and finance options
Get started now
- Clear leaves and debris from drains, drainage points and subfloors so water can flow away
- Store or secure outdoor furniture, bins, tools and garden equipment so floodwater can’t carry them into homes
