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.

Learn moreAbout Holtze's Climate Risk Profile
Holtze, located in the Northern Territory, is susceptible to a range of climate-related risks. The primary concerns are flooding due to heavy rainfall, bushfires during the dry season, and increasing heatwave frequency and intensity.
The risk of flooding is driven by intense rainfall events that can overwhelm local drainage systems. Climate change is expected to exacerbate this risk by increasing rainfall intensity. Residents should be aware of flood warnings and take necessary precautions.
Bushfire risk is high due to the suburb's proximity to bushland and the prevalence of dry vegetation. Hot, dry conditions during the dry season create ideal conditions for bushfires. Residents should maintain their properties to reduce fire hazards and have a bushfire survival plan.
Heatwaves are becoming more frequent and intense due to climate change. High temperatures can pose a health risk, particularly to vulnerable populations. Residents should stay hydrated, seek air-conditioned environments, and check on neighbors during heatwaves.
While coastal risks are minimal due to its inland location, the broader impacts of climate change, such as disruptions to supply chains and infrastructure, could still affect Holtze.
Suburb pages describe the local picture. The address-level assessment, with its data sources and its dollar projections, is in the ClimateNest report.
