Is Hobartville, NSW Climate Safe? 2026 Assessment
Climate Safety Score
5.8/10Moderate climate risk — address-specific
Key Facts
- Climate Safety
- Medium
- Flood
- Hobartville is at a high risk of flooding due to its proximity to the Hawkesbury River and low-lying areas. Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of heavy rainfall events, exacerbating flood risk.
- Bushfire
- Hobartville faces a moderate bushfire risk due to surrounding bushland. Hotter, drier conditions driven by climate change are projected to lengthen the bushfire season and increase fire intensity.
- Heat
- Hobartville is likely to experience more frequent and intense heatwaves. Rising temperatures pose a risk to vulnerable populations and infrastructure.
- Storm
- Moderate storm risk — East Coast Lows bring severe weather including hail and damaging winds
- Postcode
- 2753
- Highest high-risk exposure
- 11.1% of land (bushfire)
Climate Safety Analysis
Hobartville in New South Wales has an overall climate safety rating of Medium. This multi-hazard assessment combines flood, bushfire, heat, coastal, and storm risk data with climate projections to 2050 from CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology.
Key factors affecting Hobartville's climate safety include heat, flood. Each hazard is assessed independently and combined for an overall picture. Australia has warmed by approximately 1.5 °C since 1910, with flow-on effects to fire weather, extreme rainfall, and heatwave frequency.
Climate safety for property in Hobartville is not uniform — it varies by address. Factors such as elevation, distance to waterways, proximity to bushland, and local drainage all influence actual risk at a specific property. Two nearby properties can have materially different risk profiles.
