Brisbane doesn't get hit by Cyclones that often but they can strike the area anytime in the warmer months. They normally form in the Coral Sea (around 10'S) between November and April and sometimes track south and head towards Brisbane and can cause extreme damage and flooding, even if they do not make landfall.

Do we get cyclones in Brisbane?
Not normally. Brisbane tends to be too far south to be hit by cyclones. The warm water currents necessary for a cyclone's development usually do not extend as far south as Brisbane, although a cyclone could, conceivably, be caught in such a current. Cyclones on Australia's eastern side readily form in the Coral Sea any time between November and April. If they do track south, they are unlikely to retain their wind strength, but they can still cause major damage with flooding rains. This was what happened in the 1974 floods in Brisbane, when Cyclone Wanda crossed the coast several hundred kilometres north of Brisbane, but then continued inalnd, dumping hundreds of millimetres of rain, despite its wind strength being depleted.
Why are the Tropical Cyclone Warning centers located in Perth Darwin or Brisbane?
Tropical cyclone warning centres are located in these cities as they are the major centres along the coasts where most cyclones occur. Cyclones rarely hit as far south as Perth, but Perth is the capital of Western Australia, and the centre for communications - thus it is a logical location. Brisbane is in a similar situation. Darwin is right in the middle of cyclone territory.
