Flood Risk in Como, WA: 2026 Assessment

Como, located in Western Australia, 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 Western Australia.

Historical flood events have impacted properties close to the river. Improved drainage infrastructure is being planned.

Como faces a moderate risk of flooding, primarily from riverine sources. The proximity to the Swan River increases the potential for inundation during heavy rainfall events.

For a comprehensive property-specific flood assessment including address-level elevation data, flood overlay mapping, and insurance cost estimates, use the ClimateNest full analysis tool. General suburb data cannot replace a site-specific evaluation.

Como sits within ClimateNest's suburb-level hazard model for flood risk. 5% of the suburb's land area is mapped in high-risk flood zones and 85.5% 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 Como.

Como (postcode 6152) 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 bushfire (17.8% of land in high-risk zones), tropical cyclone (9.1% of land in high-risk zones), riverine flood (5% of land in high-risk zones). Exposure is not uniform across Como — individual properties can sit well above or below these averages, so an address-level check is recommended before buying, selling or insuring.
