Cyclone Testing Station Resources for the Community

Resources for the Community

Education of the building community and home-owners to improve the performance of houses is critical to us.

The Cyclone Testing Station aims to minimise loss and suffering that can occur across the community as a result of severe wind events. Education of the building community, home-owners and others about good practices to improve the performance of houses and other buildings is critical in this process.

This Homeowner's Guide provides a checklist to keep your house in good condition in readiness for the cyclone season.
