Are you eligible for the cyclone proofing funding?
Living in North Queensland, you’d be well aware of how important it is to cyclone proof your home.

Eligible home owners can apply to receive a grant which covers 75% of the cost of home improvements up to a maximum of $11,250 including GST.
The SolarSpan range of products is cyclonic-use approved and Queenslanders who purchase SolarSpan products through us will be eligible for the funding, providing they meet the specified criteria.

It will take 1–2 weeks after receiving your application for the Queensland Government Household Resilience Program (HRP) team to assess whether you qualify for funding.
You will also be required to provide itemised and calculated costs for upgrades to your home that are valued at $3,300 or more. It may take approximately 4 weeks for the HRP to inspect your house and inform you of the decision.
