Flood Risk in St Huberts Island, NSW: 2026 Assessment

St Huberts Island, 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.

Historical flood events have impacted properties on the island, particularly those close to the waterfront.

St Huberts Island is susceptible to flooding due to its low-lying coastal location and proximity to Brisbane Water. Sea level rise and increased rainfall intensity are expected to exacerbate flood risk.

St Huberts Island sits within ClimateNest's suburb-level hazard model for flood risk. 9.5% of the suburb's land area is mapped in high-risk flood zones and 69% 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 St Huberts Island.

St Huberts Island (postcode 2257) 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 (14% of land in high-risk zones), surface flood (13.1% of land in high-risk zones), riverine flood (9.5% of land in high-risk zones). Exposure is not uniform across St Huberts Island — individual properties can sit well above or below these averages, so an address-level check is recommended before buying, selling or insuring.
