The Queensland Government is hosting an information session for its Cyclone Resilience Programs in Ayr this evening, designed to enhance property resilience in cyclone-prone coastal areas.
This information session, aimed at homeowners, bodies corporate, strata managers, and contractors, will detail the Strata Resilience Program and Household Resilience Program.
Both programs are co-funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments and have been developed in collaboration with James Cook University's Cyclone Testing Station to bolster the cyclone resilience of properties in coastal Queensland.
The Strata Resilience Program targets bodies corporate in Central and North Queensland, offering grants of up to 75% of improvement costs, capped at $150,000 per body corporate.
The Household Resilience Program assists eligible homeowners in coastal areas of Central and Northern Queensland, providing grants covering 80% of improvement costs, up to $15,000.
Both programs emphasise the importance of upgrading property features like roofs, windows, and doors to withstand severe weather.
The Strata Resilience Program requires prior participation in the North Queensland Strata Title Inspection Program and a minimum 25% co-contribution from applicants.
The Household Resilience Program supports homeowners living in houses built before 1984, within 50 kilometres of the coastline from Bundaberg to the Queensland/Northern Territory border.
Attendees will learn about the application process, eligibility criteria, and types of improvements covered.
The session aims to educate and encourage property stakeholders to enhance their cyclone preparedness, ensuring safer communities.
