UP to 1600 homes in the coastal Moreton Bay region, north of Brisbane, are in danger of being inundated by a Saturday morning storm tide, authorities have warned.
Homes in low-lying areas could be affected when a high tide arrives at around 9am (AEST) Saturday, the Bureau of Meteorology says.
Moreton Bay Regional Council Mayor Allan Sutherland said on Friday night the council and SES were door-knocking homes in some of the areas at greatest risk.
"These potentially dangerous storm tides are associated with the ex-tropical cyclone Oswald which could also dump up to 400mm of rain on the Moreton region this weekend," the mayor said in a statement late Friday.
Sand and sandbags are available for areas potentially affected by storm tides at SES depots on Bribie Island, at Deception Bay and Redcliffe, he said.
The bureau has issued a severe weather warning for the area this weekend with damaging winds, heavy rainfall, abnormally high tides and dangerous surf conditions.
It says tides are expected to be almost a metre higher than those listed on tide charts.
