Flood Risk in Larrakeyah, NT: 2026 Assessment

Larrakeyah, 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.

Larrakeyah's low elevation makes it susceptible to tidal inundation and storm surge.

Larrakeyah faces a moderate risk of flooding, primarily due to its low-lying coastal location and proximity to Darwin Harbour. Intense rainfall events can lead to stormwater inundation.

Larrakeyah sits within ClimateNest's suburb-level hazard model for flood risk. 5.6% of the suburb's land area is mapped in high-risk flood zones and 66.4% 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 Larrakeyah.

Larrakeyah (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 tropical cyclone (13.7% of land in high-risk zones), bushfire (10.3% of land in high-risk zones), extreme wind (7.4% of land in high-risk zones). Exposure is not uniform across Larrakeyah — individual properties can sit well above or below these averages, so an address-level check is recommended before buying, selling or insuring.
