FED up with the sluggish response from insurance companies in assisting residents to get their lives back on track after the devastating Halloween hailstorms, Ipswich City Council has decided to take action.
The damage bill for last year’s storms which hammered Ipswich and Logan is close to $1 billion and only a quarter of building claims have been completed more than four months on.
More than 39,000 claims have been lodged.
The most recent assessment by the Queensland Reconstruction Authority found 478 properties battered by storms had been repaired and 1297 were still damaged.
Of those damaged properties, 704 remain tarped and 341 are still uninhabitable.
