Is Kondinin, WA Climate Safe? 2026 Assessment
Climate Safety Score
5.2/10Moderate climate risk — address-specific
Key Facts
- Climate Safety
- Medium
- Flood
- Kondinin faces a moderate risk of flooding, primarily from heavy rainfall events and localized flash flooding. The risk is projected to increase slightly due to climate change.
- Bushfire
- Kondinin is located in a region with a high bushfire risk due to dry vegetation and hot, dry summers. Climate change is expected to exacerbate these conditions, leading to more frequent and intense bushfires.
- Heat
- Kondinin experiences high temperatures during summer, and the frequency and intensity of heatwaves are projected to increase with climate change. This poses a risk to vulnerable populations.
- Storm
- Moderate storm risk — winter storms and occasional severe thunderstorms
- Postcode
- 6367
- Highest high-risk exposure
- 14.6% of land (bushfire)
Climate Safety Analysis
Kondinin in Western Australia 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 Kondinin's climate safety include heat, bushfire. 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 Kondinin 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 Kondinin including address-level hazard mapping, insurance outlook, and adaptation recommendations, use the ClimateNest full analysis tool.
Kondinin (postcode 6367) 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 (14.6% of land in high-risk zones), surface flood (9.6% of land in high-risk zones), tropical cyclone (5.1% of land in high-risk zones). Exposure is not uniform across Kondinin — individual properties can sit well above or below these averages, so an address-level check is recommended before buying, selling or insuring.
