Power supplies across Port Douglas have been cut off this morning after a gas leak in the Paradise Links Resort area.

Fire trucks and police descended on the Nautilus Street region following a car accident, shutting off roads and cutting essential services in the district.

Ergon Energy put out a warning on its communications platforms that power had been cut “for public safety as emergency services respond to a gas leak associated with a vehicle accident at Port Douglas”.

“Our crews will restore power when it is safe to do so,” Ergon stated.
