Now have more concrete information, with the "rumour" aspect theoretically removed.
Damage was caused by the ARRIVING Air Asia X landing into the South, not Northerly departure as first advised.
House was on the Southern corner of Cabarita Ave Tugun directly opposite the Bowls Club.
Bowls Club is having ongoing issues with arrivals rotating their lights for night bowls on their poles (only heavy equipment appears to be a problem) and they have had a number of canvas shelters used to keep the older members out of the sun damaged.
There ya go.

"As their was no air return, one can assume that there must have been 2 participating and serviceable turbines, which leaves MTOW, incorrect load and trim notification and erronious power settings to cause the aeroplane to pass over the house low enough for thrust (or the unlikely wake turbulence) so low as to dislodge tiles"
You don't get off the hook that easily Loco. Erronious power selection Loco and the unlikely wake turbulence. Pilot error hey! No apology forthcoming here.

None expected Tunedoggy.
No "Pilot Error" was suggested, just possible airport design error.
I ran with what I had and should have waited, but at least sourced the Cabarita Ave Shopkeeper's info finally.
He is in the running with the Townsville and Charleville refuellers for source of the year I believe.
The fact that the disruption is ongoing with the extended runway is interesting.
The heavies would generally be arriving relatively light due to fuel burn.
Is there enough leeway to displace the arrival threshold as it appears that if lightd on towers are being moved and canvas shelters blown out that something is rotten in the State of Denmark?

This has absolutely no relevance to the point at hand, but just interesting stuff ...
I have been on the OOL-KUL-OOL run with AAX and my observations were that departure and arrival into and out of OOL appeared to be along normal lines (from a SLF point of view), however, departure out of KUL was another thing ...
I could have watched an episode of 60 Minutes during the takeoff roll and when the wheels left the earth ... there was only earth beneath us ... no tarmac!!
The quick and dirty assumption from that is that they need a lot more juice to get here than to get back.

Apologies Loco, of course the threshold of 32 is at the other end
, Ii just find it odd that having had a very close 30+ year relationship with OOL, this is something I hadn't heard about!

As it happens Fliegenmong, that was all irrelevant. It was an arrival from the other end.
No matter mate, it is all just interesting info anyway - not a cause for revitalising the Spanish Inquisition.
Nobody expects............
