She said authorities will work to "try and get supplies to those communities in New South Wales rather than having to cross to get supplies into Queensland".
"It's really important to make sure that we ensure the safety of those townships across our Queensland border," Ms Palaszczuk said.
"I think people will understand that and it's the right thing."
One of the cases detected yesterday is a contact of a known cluster who is unvaccinated, but authorities say they are "not concerned".
Another is unvaccinated person who was active in the community for five days, while the third person was a woman in her 30s who had been in the community for four days, she been vaccinated with one dose of a vaccine.
