Key Facts
- Climate Safety
- Medium
- Flood
- Kimbriki faces a moderate risk of flooding, primarily from heavy rainfall events and potential overflow from local waterways. The risk is expected to increase with climate change.
- Bushfire
- Kimbriki has a high bushfire risk due to its proximity to bushland areas. Hot, dry conditions and strong winds can exacerbate the risk during the bushfire season. Climate change is projected to worsen these conditions.
- Heat
- Kimbriki experiences moderate heat risk, with increasing average temperatures and more frequent heatwave events projected due to climate change. This can impact vulnerable populations and infrastructure.
- Storm
- Moderate storm risk — East Coast Lows bring severe weather including hail and damaging winds
- Postcode
- 2429
- Highest high-risk exposure
- 16.1% of land (bushfire)
Climate Safety Analysis
Kimbriki 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 Kimbriki's climate safety include bushfire. 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 Kimbriki 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.
