The committee recommends that the Australian Government direct the Australia Competition and Consumer Commission to monitor the cyclone insurance markets in Northern Australia, and report on:
- instances where thin markets may be impacting both insurance coverage and cost; and
- market participation, specifically under-insurance and the issue of lack of insurance in some areas.

The committee recommends that the Australian Government review:
- the availability and coverage of insurance in Northern Australia, specifically the insured versus the uninsured, including nonparticipation; and
- the impact of the 48-hour clause on the cost of insurance premiums for Northern Australians, and the availability of insurance in the region as part of the built-in review in 2025, and adjust this clause if necessary.

The committee recommends that the Australian Government’s 2025 review of the Cyclone Reinsurance Pool consider:
- evidence and data on whether to ‘sunset’ the Cyclone Reinsurance Pool’s coverage of policies for new builds past a certain date; and
- how to reinforce the policy objective of the Cyclone Reinsurance Pool to move to parity of cost and access for all Australians.

Emergency Plan and Recovery sub-plans should be amended to better define recovery mechanisms and responsibilities, including hand over points to recovery authorities and community engagement for the delivery of long term recovery mechanisms.
