About Climate Risk in Queensland

Queensland suburbs experience cyclone and flood risk in coastal areas, extreme heat across the state, and increasing storm surge risk for properties in South East Queensland and the tropical north. Brisbane River flooding remains a major risk for inner and outer metropolitan suburbs.

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 (0–10), projected scores for 2030 and 2050, local geographic evidence, insurance outlook, and property owner recommendations.
