Is Mogriguy, NSW Climate Safe? 2026 Assessment
Climate Safety Score
5.5/10Moderate climate risk — address-specific
Key Facts
- Climate Safety
- Medium
- Flood
- Mogriguy faces a moderate risk of flooding due to its proximity to waterways and low-lying areas. Climate change is expected to increase rainfall intensity, potentially leading to more frequent and severe flood events.
- Bushfire
- Mogriguy has a high bushfire risk due to the surrounding bushland. Hot, dry conditions and strong winds can increase the likelihood of bushfires. Climate change is projected to worsen these conditions, leading to a higher frequency and intensity of bushfires.
- Heat
- Mogriguy experiences moderate heat risk, with hot summers and occasional heatwaves. Climate change is expected to increase average temperatures and the frequency and intensity of heatwaves, posing a risk to vulnerable populations.
- Storm
- Moderate storm risk — East Coast Lows bring severe weather including hail and damaging winds
- Postcode
- 2830
- Highest high-risk exposure
- 17.9% of land (bushfire)
Climate Safety Analysis
Mogriguy 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 Mogriguy's climate safety include flood, 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 Mogriguy 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.
