About Climate Risk in Northern Territory

Northern Territory suburbs face extreme heat and tropical cyclone risk, with seasonal flooding affecting Darwin and surrounding areas during the wet season. Infrastructure resilience and insurance availability are key concerns for property owners.

ClimateNest suburb assessments are built using Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) historical hazard data, CSIRO future climate projections under SSP2-4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios, state-specific hazard overlays from emergency services and planning authorities, and actuarial data. Every assessment includes current hazard scores (0–100), projected scores for 2030 and 2050, local geographic evidence, insurance outlook, and property owner recommendations.
