There were numerous economic effects from Cyclone Tracy. They included:

  • Huge loss of homes - the city had to be virtually rebuilt from scratch. There were enormous costs involved in rebuilding infrastructure and damaged buildings.
  • Reduced income for businesses affected by damage resulting from the cyclone.
  • Local businesses had building damage and lost some of their produce. This drove up prices of goods and supplies because they had to be brought in from further away, so the businesses had to pay more for transportation costs.
  • Many residents moved away permanently, never to return.
  • Many businesses closed down permanently, leading to unemployment.
Many organisations helped with the disaster, these included: National Disasters Organisation, Darwin's Emergency Service, RAAF, Qantas, TAA, Ansett Airways, RAF, RNZAF, US Airforce and Darwin's Reconstruction Committee. Medical teams helped with the sick and $250 million dollars was donated to Darwin for reconstruction. Other parts of Australia donated money, food, clothing, building materials, blankets and medical supplies.

Was Cyclone Tracy worse than Cyclone Yasi?

It is difficult to directly compare the severity of Cyclone Tracy and Cyclone Yasi as each cyclone had different impacts and affected different areas. However, Cyclone Tracy, which struck Darwin, Australia in 1974, caused more loss of life and extensive damage to the city compared to Cyclone Yasi, which hit northern Queensland in 2011. Both cyclones were significant in their own right, but Cyclone Tracy is often considered one of the most devastating cyclones to hit Australia.
