The Strata Resilience Program (the Program) supports bodies corporate across Central and North Queensland to undertake upgrades that help strata properties better withstand cyclones and severe weather.

The program was jointly funded by the Australian Government and the Queensland Government.

The program closed to applications on 30 June 2026. For more key dates and information visit the Program website. The program is managed by the Queensland Department of Housing and Public Works.

Available support to bodies corporate

Through the Program, eligible bodies corporate will be able to apply for a co-contribution grant. This grant will provide funding for resilience works identified in their property’s Strata Title Inspection Report. These reports are available through the James Cook University Cyclone Testing Station.

Co-contribution grants are up to $150,000 (including GST) per body corporate.

Benefits of the Strata Resilience Program

The Program will enable a range of retrofitting works to properties. The works will lower risk and put downward pressure on insurance premiums by reducing damage from disasters.

Potential works may include:

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