Climate Safety Score
5.8/10Moderate climate risk — address-specific
Key Facts
- Climate Safety
- Medium
- Flood
- Voyager Point has a moderate risk of flooding due to its proximity to the Georges River. Riverine flooding can occur during periods of heavy rainfall.
- Bushfire
- Voyager Point has a moderate risk of bushfire due to the presence of surrounding bushland. Grassfires can also pose a threat.
- Heat
- Voyager Point is expected to experience an increase in the frequency and intensity of heatwaves due to climate change. This can pose a risk to vulnerable populations.
- Storm
- Moderate storm risk — East Coast Lows bring severe weather including hail and damaging winds
- Postcode
- 2172
- Highest high-risk exposure
- 9.7% of land (surface flood)
Climate Safety Analysis
Voyager Point 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 Voyager Point's climate safety include heat, flood. 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 Voyager Point 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.
For a complete property-specific climate safety report for Voyager Point including address-level hazard mapping, insurance outlook, and adaptation recommendations, use the ClimateNest full analysis tool.
Voyager Point (postcode 2172) 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 surface flood (9.7% of land in high-risk zones), riverine flood (9.2% of land in high-risk zones), bushfire (8% of land in high-risk zones). Exposure is not uniform across Voyager Point — individual properties can sit well above or below these averages, so an address-level check is recommended before buying, selling or insuring.

Which climate hazard poses the biggest risk in Voyager Point?
The dominant hazard for Voyager Point depends on geography and local environment. Proximity to waterways elevates flood risk, while proximity to bushland increases bushfire risk. ClimateNest's multi-hazard analysis identifies the highest-risk hazards for any specific address.
How does Voyager Point compare to nearby suburbs for climate safety?
Nearby suburbs may have different climate risk profiles depending on elevation, vegetation cover, drainage patterns, and land use. ClimateNest allows comparison of climate safety scores across New South Wales suburbs.
Should I be concerned about buying property in Voyager Point?
Climate risk should be one factor in your decision, alongside price, location, and amenity. An informed buyer understands the specific risks at a property address and factors insurance costs and climate projections into their assessment of long-term value.
What climate projections should I know for Voyager Point?
Key projections for New South Wales from CSIRO include increased average temperatures, more frequent hot days, changes in rainfall seasonality, longer fire seasons, and potential increases in extreme rainfall intensity. These trends inform the long-term outlook for Voyager Point.
What share of Voyager Point is exposed to high surface flood risk?
ClimateNest's hazard overlay maps 9.7% of Voyager Point in high-risk zones for surface flood, with a further 84.1% in moderate-risk zones. Suburb-level exposure is not uniform — individual properties can differ from these averages, so an address-level check is recommended.
