Kooringal, located in Queensland, 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 Queensland.

Areas near the river are most vulnerable.

Kooringal faces a moderate risk of flooding, primarily from the nearby Murrumbidgee River and local stormwater runoff. Climate change is expected to increase the intensity of rainfall events, potentially exacerbating flood risks.

Kooringal sits within ClimateNest's suburb-level hazard model for flood risk. 12.8% of the suburb's land area is mapped in high-risk flood zones and 80.1% 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 Kooringal.

Kooringal (postcode 4025) 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 (20.8% of land in high-risk zones), riverine flood (12.8% of land in high-risk zones), surface flood (8.3% of land in high-risk zones). Exposure is not uniform across Kooringal — individual properties can sit well above or below these averages, so an address-level check is recommended before buying, selling or insuring.
