This is cyclonic country. Queensland Government guidance classifies coastal areas north of Bundaberg as Wind Region C, and homes designed to AS 4055 there carry a cyclonic classification of C1 to C4.
Gladstone Regional Council is updating its coastal hazard and flood hazard planning, which is worth checking early for coastal and low-lying sites.
Wind classification
Coastal areas north of Bundaberg, including the Gladstone region, are in cyclonic Wind Region C. Frames and trusses are engineered for the site's cyclonic classification (C1 to C4). Inland sites such as Calliope should have their distance from the coast confirmed by the engineer or certifier.
