NSW hailstorm damage bill hits $670m
Insurance Council of Australia | January 08, 2019
The damage bill caused by the catastrophic hailstorms which lashed across Sydney, Central Coast, and South East Queensland regions late last month has tripled over the past week, as more residents return from the holidays to discover damage to their properties. More than 25,000 people had lodged claims the morning after the Dec. 20 hailstorms battered the regions with tennis- and golf-ball-sized hailstones, with the repair bill expected at that time to hit $125m.
