This FOI release contains correspondence between the Bureau of Meteorology's Energy and Resources business solutions team and Groote Eylandt Mining Company (GEMCO, part of South32) about a tropical cyclone forecasting quote for the 2024-2025 cyclone season, covering emails from 3 to 24 September 2024. The quote was revised to the Northern region 7-Day Tropical Cyclone Outlook, running to 30 April, for a total of $10,097, with the bureau correcting an initial arithmetic error of $9. GEMCO's management ultimately declined to subscribe. The release also includes the service request form and a 2023-2024 forecasting services quote, plus public warning and media material on Severe Tropical Cyclone Megan, which crossed the coast southeast of Port McArthur on 18 March 2024. Reported impacts include a 170 km/h gust at Centre Island, an 82 km/h gust at Borroloola, and flood warnings across the Northern Territory. The material is largely public-facing warnings and correspondence rather than internal assessments.
