Cyclone Testing Station: The Cyclone Testing Station

To be the pre-eminent, independent research and testing authority on the performance of buildings and infrastructure in response to cyclones and other wind events in Australia and the surrounding region.

The damage and devastation caused by severe wind events poses a real danger for communities in Australia and worldwide. We investigate wind events and conduct research to ensure that buildings are designed to resist severe wind events in a safe, economical and sustainable way.

Our important ongoing projects include the North Queensland Strata Title Inspection Program. This is a long-term project that is to deliver an ongoing legacy of more resilient Strata Title properties, which will reduce cyclone impacts, and recovery time of communities. Read more about the Strata Title Inspection Program below.

Our aim is to minimise the loss and suffering caused by cyclones and other high wind events. In addition to advising governments, manufacturers, and property owners, we also deliver first class academic research. We have a strong team at the forefront of wind research. Our team is dedicated to:

• Assist in the development of effective building practices.
• Improve safety in high wind events including cyclones.
• Mitigate risk and reduce costs resulting from wind damage.
