Flood Risk in The Entrance, NSW: 2026 Assessment

The Entrance, 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 near the lake and along low-lying areas. Council flood studies provide detailed information on flood risk zones.

The Entrance is susceptible to flooding due to its low-lying coastal location and proximity to Tuggerah Lake. Heavy rainfall and storm surges can lead to inundation of properties and infrastructure.

For a comprehensive property-specific flood assessment including address-level elevation data, flood overlay mapping, and insurance cost estimates, use the ClimateNest full analysis tool. General suburb data cannot replace a site-specific evaluation.

The Entrance sits within ClimateNest's suburb-level hazard model for flood risk. 5.5% of the suburb's land area is mapped in high-risk flood zones and 83.5% 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 The Entrance.

The Entrance (postcode 2261) 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 (9.2% of land in high-risk zones), extreme wind (6% of land in high-risk zones), riverine flood (5.5% of land in high-risk zones). Exposure is not uniform across The Entrance — individual properties can sit well above or below these averages, so an address-level check is recommended before buying, selling or insuring.
