Brisbane local news noon update for January 30, 2026. It has been a difficult and chaotic morning in the city, led by breaking news of a workplace tragedy at the Port of Brisbane. The CBD also ground to a halt with a truck fire outside Central Station and a security scare that shut down streets. In state news, rising inflation might actually be good news for public sector wallets, with a potential wage hike on the cards.

On a lighter note, the Brisbane lunch scene is about to get a serious upgrade as a Sydney sandwich cult favorite announces it is heading north to open up shop in the Sunshine State. Stay informed with ExtraLocal Brisbane, your daily source for Brisbane news and community updates.
