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.

Coogee sits within ClimateNest's suburb-level hazard model for flood risk. 2.9% of the suburb's land area is mapped in high-risk flood zones and 89.3% 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 Coogee.

Coogee (postcode 6166) 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), surface flood (5.5% of land in high-risk zones), tropical cyclone (4.4% of land in high-risk zones). Exposure is not uniform across Coogee — individual properties can sit well above or below these averages, so an address-level check is recommended before buying, selling or insuring.
