Climate Safety Score
5.8Moderate climate risk — address-specific
Key Facts
- Climate Safety
- Medium
- Flood
- Paradise Point is susceptible to flooding due to its low-lying coastal location and proximity to waterways. Increased rainfall intensity and sea level rise are expected to exacerbate flood risk.
- Bushfire
- Bushfire risk in Paradise Point is relatively low due to the suburb's coastal location and limited vegetation. However, dry conditions and strong winds can increase the risk.
- Heat
- Paradise Point experiences high temperatures during summer, with increasing frequency and intensity of heatwaves. Vulnerable populations are at risk of heat stress.
- Storm
- Notable storm risk — tropical cyclones and severe thunderstorms in summer months

Climate Safety Analysis
Paradise Point in Queensland has an overall climate safety rating of Medium. This multi-hazard assessment combines flood, bushfire, heat, coastal, and storm risk data with climate projections to 2050 from CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology.
Key factors affecting Paradise Point's climate safety include heat, flood, coastal. Each hazard is assessed independently and combined for an overall picture. Australia has warmed by approximately 1.5 °C since 1910, with flow-on effects to fire weather, extreme rainfall, and heatwave frequency.
Climate safety for property in Paradise Point is not uniform — it varies by address. Factors such as elevation, distance to waterways, proximity to bushland, and local drainage all influence actual risk at a specific property. Two nearby properties can have materially different risk profiles.
