No one was physically injured as a result of the incident, and the damage and structural integrity of the property will be assessed.
A 22-year-old man has been charged with one count each of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and adversely affected by an intoxicating substance and unlawful use of a motor vehicle and three counts of wilful damage.
He is due to appear in the Thursday Island Magistrates Court on January 17.
