Magnitude-5.6 earthquake felt north of Brisbane

A magnitude-5.6 earthquake has struck inland from Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.

Geoscience Australia said the epicentre was about 80 kilometres west of Noosa and 250 kilometres north of Brisbane. 

People have also reported feeling tremors and as far north as Rockhampton and as far south as the Glen Innes in New South Wales.

The quake occurred at a depth of 10km at 9:49am. 

More than 11,500 people have submitted “felt reports” to Geosciences Australia.

Danny Donald from Energex said crews were investigating outages near the earthquake’s epicentre.

“In total, we’ve got around about 11,000 customers affected between the Fraser Coast, Burrum Heads, and Murgon,” he said.

“Hopefully, if there’s nothing broken … we should be able to get things back up and running relatively quickly.”

Queensland Rail said the north coast lines ending in Cairns will be suspended until further notice to ensure track safety.

Services on all Brisbane city lines were running at lower speeds due to the tremor, and trains were delayed by up to 15 minutes.

There is no tsunami risk.
