Administered by the Queensland Government, the program covers 80% of costs to upgrade roofs, doors, windows and other protective measures for homes built before 1984 and located within 50km of the coast from Bundaberg to the NT border. Grants aim to better prepare households, reduce insurance costs and support local contractors. Phase 4 opened in June 2023 with $20 million funding households not previously assisted.
