Climate Risk Assessment: Kains Flat, NSW
No measured hazard layer we hold covers Kains Flat, New South Wales, so no suburb-level figure is published for it. That is an absence of mapped data, not a finding that the suburb is safe. A ClimateNest report scores the address itself across eight hazards, with insurance and value projections to 2050.

Climate Hazard Breakdown for Kains Flat
Flood
Kains Flat faces a moderate risk of flooding, primarily from heavy rainfall events and nearby creeks. The risk is projected to increase due to climate change.
Key drivers:
- ·Increased rainfall intensity
- ·Changes in land use
Bushfire
The area surrounding Kains Flat is highly susceptible to bushfires, particularly during dry periods and heatwaves. The risk is expected to worsen with climate change.
Key drivers:
- ·Increased temperatures
- ·Drier conditions
Heat
Kains Flat is likely to experience more frequent and intense heatwaves in the future, posing a risk to vulnerable populations. Climate change is exacerbating this risk.
Key drivers:
- ·Rising global temperatures
- ·Urban heat island effect

How the region's climate is projected to change
Regional projections, not a forecast for this street. Figures are from the WA Department of Water and Environmental Regulation's climate projections for the South Western Flatlands region, which draws on CSIRO and Bureau of Meteorology modelling.
Temperature
+0.5 to 1.1°C by 2030
Above the 1986–2005 climate, on all emissions scenarios. By 2090, 1.2 to 2.0°C under intermediate emissions or 2.6 to 4.0°C under high emissions.
Rainfall
Winter rain down up to 15% by 2030
The South West has been drying since 1970, and the decline has been larger than anywhere else in Australia. Heavy rainfall events are projected to become more intense even as totals fall.
Fire weather
Harsher, magnitude uncertain
High confidence that fire weather becomes harsher, low confidence in the size of the change, because it depends heavily on summer rainfall.
Sea level
+0.12 m by 2030
At the Fremantle gauge, range 0.07 to 0.16 m. Very high confidence that sea levels continue to rise through the century.
