Climate Risk in Kanoona, New South Wales

Kanoona, New South Wales
Updated Apr 2026

No measured hazard layer we hold covers Kanoona, 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.

Overall Risk Score

Address-level

Hazard Breakdown

Flood, bushfire, heat, coastal and storm exposure are all assessed in this area. The score that matters is the property's own: a ClimateNest report scores the address across eight hazards, with insurance and value projections to 2050.

Climate Hazard Breakdown for Kanoona

Flood

Kanoona faces a moderate risk of flooding due to its location and rainfall patterns. Local waterways and inadequate drainage contribute to potential flood events.

Key drivers:

  • ·Increased rainfall intensity
  • ·Urban development

Bushfire

Kanoona has a high bushfire risk due to its proximity to bushland. Dry conditions and strong winds exacerbate the potential for bushfires.

Key drivers:

  • ·Climate change
  • ·Dry vegetation

Heat

Kanoona experiences moderate heat risk, with increasing average temperatures and more frequent heatwaves impacting residents' health and infrastructure.

Key drivers:

  • ·Climate change
  • ·Urban heat island effect

Coastal

Kanoona has a low coastal risk due to its inland location. Sea-level rise and coastal erosion are not significant threats to the suburb.

Key drivers:

  • ·Distance from the coast

Suburb figures are shares of land area inside published state hazard layers. They are not a property-level assessment, and a hazard missing from this page is one we hold no measured layer for, not one we found to be absent.

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.
