Key Facts
- Climate Safety
- Medium
- Flood
- Beenleigh faces a moderate risk of flooding due to its proximity to the Logan River and associated creeks. Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of heavy rainfall events, exacerbating flood risk.
- Bushfire
- Bushfire risk in Beenleigh is relatively low compared to other areas in Queensland, but some areas near bushland reserves are still susceptible. Drier conditions and higher temperatures could increase the risk in the future.
- Heat
- Beenleigh is projected to experience more frequent and intense heatwaves. This poses a significant risk to vulnerable populations, including the elderly and those with chronic health conditions.
- Storm
- Notable storm risk — tropical cyclones and severe thunderstorms in summer months
