About Climate Risk in Victoria
Victorian suburbs face significant bushfire risk in outer-metro and Dandenong Ranges communities, with flood risk concentrated in low-lying Melbourne suburbs along the Yarra, Maribyrnong, and Werribee catchments. Extreme heat events are increasing in frequency across the state.
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 (0–100), projected scores for 2030 and 2050, local geographic evidence, insurance outlook, and property owner recommendations.
