Key Facts

Climate Safety
Medium
Flood
Fullerton faces a moderate risk of flooding due to its location and rainfall patterns. Climate change is expected to increase the intensity of rainfall events, potentially exacerbating flood risk.
Bushfire
Bushfire risk in Fullerton is relatively high due to the proximity of bushland areas. Drier conditions and higher temperatures associated with climate change are expected to increase the frequency and intensity of bushfires.
Heat
Fullerton is likely to experience more frequent and intense heatwaves as a result of climate change. This poses a risk to vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and those with chronic health conditions.
Storm
Moderate storm risk — East Coast Lows bring severe weather including hail and damaging winds
