5.5/10Moderate climate risk — address-specific
Key Facts
- Climate Safety
- Medium
- Flood
- Wiley Park has a moderate risk of flooding due to its proximity to waterways and low-lying areas. Increased rainfall intensity could exacerbate this risk.
- Bushfire
- Wiley Park has a low risk of bushfire due to its urban environment and distance from significant bushland areas. However, increased temperatures and drier conditions could slightly elevate the risk.
- Heat
- Wiley Park is expected to experience more frequent and intense heatwaves. This poses a significant risk to vulnerable populations, especially the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions.
- Storm
- Moderate storm risk — East Coast Lows bring severe weather including hail and damaging winds
- Postcode
- 2195
- Highest high-risk exposure
- 12.1% of land (bushfire)
Climate Safety Analysis
Wiley Park 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 Wiley Park'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 Wiley Park 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.
