Silverdome, Prospect, Tasmania
Had to look up the council website to see where Launceston's Evacuation Centres are. The Silverdome was 1 of 2 listed.
Luckily there is not a big demand for their use.

The Goonelabah Aquatic and sports Centre was the evacuation centre during the devastating floods in 2022. We had a family member and their family loose everything they owned when the flood waters went over the top of their house. This photo is of the food distribution section, where anyone could receive plenty of food and cleaning items that had been generously donated. Other parts of the large complex had clothing, manchester etc. People were sleeping on the ground outside of the centre as the inside of the complex was full to capacity. It was very heartwarming to see the community from far and wide help in so many ways.

The East Devonport Recreation and Function Centre is the Evacuation Centre for the Devonport area. The included photo shows the centre with the sign in the foreground. There is also a closer view of the sign which highlights "Emergency Evacuation Centre" at the bottom. Thanks Gullivers Travels54 for the cache.

I'm currently working on-site at Argonne National Labs in Chicagoland, Illinois. The northern hemisphere seems to have tornadoes rather than cyclones. The rest rooms double as a tornado shelter.
I'm not sure of the etiquette if you need to go when a swirly wind hits, does everyone turn their back and hum loudly? I suppose there are bigger concerns at that point.

I don't think we have evacuation centres in Sydney. There are Neighborhood Safer Places where one could head during a bushfire, my local oval is one.
"A Neighborhood Safer Place is designed as a Place of Last Resort in bush fire emergencies only. Please note that travelling to or sheltering at a Neighbourhood Safer Place does not guarantee your safety."
Don't know if these would count. And often evacuation centres are only declared when there is an emergency, and not necessarily signposted otherwise.

Hah! I have a beautiful one for this!
Last year I was in Tel Aviv and I saw this tsunami sign.
It was more impressive than the evacuation center itself which was just a building.
