Flood Risk in Mumblebone Plain, NSW: 2026 Assessment

Mumblebone Plain, located in New South Wales, has a notable flood risk profile based on available data including proximity to waterways, elevation, and historical flood events. The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) maintains river height and flood warning data for catchments across New South Wales.

The area has experienced several moderate flood events in the past, primarily due to heavy rainfall in the catchment area of the Castlereagh River.

Mumblebone Plain faces a moderate risk of flooding due to its flat topography and proximity to waterways. Climate change is expected to increase rainfall intensity, potentially worsening flood events.

Mumblebone Plain sits within ClimateNest's suburb-level hazard model for flood risk. 3.6% of the suburb's land area is mapped in high-risk flood zones and 80.8% in moderate-risk zones, based on the national hazard overlay. Exposure at this scale varies street by street, which is why an address-level check matters before you buy or insure a specific property in Mumblebone Plain.

Mumblebone Plain (postcode 2824) is tracked in ClimateNest's suburb hazard model, which maps the share of the suburb's land exposed to each hazard at high and moderate levels. The suburb's highest high-risk exposures are bushfire (16.3% of land in high-risk zones), surface flood (8.2% of land in high-risk zones), extreme wind (4.8% of land in high-risk zones). Exposure is not uniform across Mumblebone Plain — individual properties can sit well above or below these averages, so an address-level check is recommended before buying, selling or insuring.
