- 8.4% of land (extreme wind)
Climate Safety Analysis
Deloraine in Tasmania has an overall climate safety rating of Medium. This multi-hazard assessment combines flood, bushfire, heat, coastal, and storm risk data with climate projections to 2050 from CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology.
Key factors affecting Deloraine's climate safety include flood. Each hazard is assessed independently and combined for an overall picture. Australia has warmed by approximately 1.5 °C since 1910, with flow-on effects to fire weather, extreme rainfall, and heatwave frequency.
Climate safety for property in Deloraine is not uniform — it varies by address. Factors such as elevation, distance to waterways, proximity to bushland, and local drainage all influence actual risk at a specific property. Two nearby properties can have materially different risk profiles.
For a complete property-specific climate safety report for Deloraine including address-level hazard mapping, insurance outlook, and adaptation recommendations, use the ClimateNest full analysis tool.
Deloraine (postcode 7304) 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 extreme wind (8.4% of land in high-risk zones), bushfire (8.2% of land in high-risk zones), riverine flood (7.7% of land in high-risk zones). Exposure is not uniform across Deloraine — individual properties can sit well above or below these averages, so an address-level check is recommended before buying, selling or insuring.
