Redland City Council, on the outskirts of Brisbane, has confirmed that members of the public have been exposed to mould at Redland Performing Arts Centre (RPAC). An anonymous tip-off from within the Council alerted public media to instances of audiences being exposed to mould in the concert hall.

Three chairs in the hall were contaminated with mould and were removed. Mould had been discovered elsewhere in the venue after parts of the buildings became waterlogged as a result of Tropical Cyclone Alfred.
