IAG\u2019s executive manager of natural perils Mark Leplastrier said homes across the east coast of Australia were at risk of significant financial woes, as the majority of home insurance premiums do not cover property damage from coastal erosion and \u201cactions by the sea\u201d.<\/p>\n

Mr Leplastrier\u2019s comments come as an east coast low pressure system moving across New South Wales caused significant damage to the central coast, particularly around Wamberal and the northern beaches of Sydney.<\/p>\n
