These reports are available through the James Cook University Cyclone Testing Station.

Co-contribution grants will be up to $15,000 (including GST) per home, and up to is $150,000 (including GST) per body corporate.

• replacing hollow external doors with solid ones
• installing shutters or screens to block debris, and
• replacing existing garage doors.
