Freedom Fuels service station, Kulangoor — underground tank leak
May 2026
Kulangoor, Queensland, Australia
What happened
An underground unleaded-petrol storage tank failed at the Freedom Fuels service station in Kulangoor on the Sunshine Coast, causing a fuel leak and contamination that prompted evacuation of a neighboring caravan park. Queensland's environment department issued an environmental enforcement order; the failed equipment was repaired and the tank returned to service after testing. This is a retail/local bulk-storage event rather than a refinery incident.
