Flood Risk in Fannie Bay, NT: 2026 Assessment

Fannie Bay, located in Northern Territory, 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 Northern Territory.

Low-lying areas near the coast are most vulnerable to flooding during high tides and storm surges.

Fannie Bay faces a moderate risk of flooding, primarily due to its low-lying coastal location and proximity to waterways. Intense rainfall events can lead to stormwater runoff exceeding drainage capacity.

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.

Fannie Bay sits within ClimateNest's suburb-level hazard model for flood risk. 6.6% of the suburb's land area is mapped in high-risk flood zones and 68.2% 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 Fannie Bay.

Fannie Bay (postcode 0820) 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 (11.4% of land in high-risk zones), surface flood (11% of land in high-risk zones), tropical cyclone (10.9% of land in high-risk zones). Exposure is not uniform across Fannie Bay — individual properties can sit well above or below these averages, so an address-level check is recommended before buying, selling or insuring.
