Is Rosebery, TAS Climate Safe? 2026 Assessment
Climate Safety Score
5.2/10Moderate climate risk — address-specific
Key Facts
- Climate Safety
- Medium
- Flood
- Rosebery faces a moderate risk of flooding due to its proximity to waterways and potential for heavy rainfall events. Climate change is expected to increase the intensity of rainfall, potentially exacerbating flood risks.
- Bushfire
- Rosebery has a moderate bushfire risk due to surrounding vegetation. Drier conditions and increased temperatures associated with climate change could lengthen the bushfire season and increase fire intensity.
- Heat
- Rosebery experiences moderate heat risk, with increasing average temperatures projected. More frequent and intense heatwaves could impact vulnerable populations and infrastructure.
- Storm
- Moderate storm risk — westerly wind storms and occasional severe weather
- Postcode
- 7470
- Highest high-risk exposure
- 11.7% of land (surface flood)
Climate Safety Analysis
Rosebery 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 Rosebery'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 Rosebery 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 Rosebery including address-level hazard mapping, insurance outlook, and adaptation recommendations, use the ClimateNest full analysis tool.
Rosebery (postcode 7470) 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 surface flood (11.7% of land in high-risk zones), riverine flood (9.6% of land in high-risk zones), bushfire (9% of land in high-risk zones). Exposure is not uniform across Rosebery — individual properties can sit well above or below these averages, so an address-level check is recommended before buying, selling or insuring.
