You can cut off the brown tips, they tend to die back a bit at the end of summer and remove lower leaves if required.

Cordylines are susceptible to damage in low temperatures.
Why are my Cordyline leaves going brown?
A common problem with Cordyline and almost all indoor houseplants is what we call “tipping” or simply the tips of the leaves drying out and turning brown. This can be caused by a number of factors including over-watering, chemical burn from too much fertilizer, Root rot and dry stagnant air.

Why did the Cordyline plant die in Queensland?
Last year’s drought in Queensland saw gardeners planting arid zone plants but as soon as normal rainfall arrived, which it inevitably does, many keeled over and died. But during the drought, the cordylines simply stopped growing until the rains came, then they powered off again. They truly are water wise plants.
