5.5Moderate climate risk — address-specific
Key Facts
- Climate Safety
- Medium
- Flood
- Woree faces a moderate risk of flooding due to its proximity to waterways and low-lying areas. Climate change is expected to increase rainfall intensity, exacerbating flood risk.
- Bushfire
- The bushfire risk in Woree is relatively low due to the suburb's location and limited bushland interface. However, hotter and drier conditions could increase the risk.
- Heat
- Woree experiences a high heat risk, with increasing average temperatures and more frequent heatwaves. This poses a significant threat to vulnerable populations.
- Storm
- Notable storm risk — tropical cyclones and severe thunderstorms in summer months

Climate Safety Analysis
Woree 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 Woree'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 Woree 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.
For a complete property-specific climate safety report for Woree including address-level hazard mapping, insurance outlook, and adaptation recommendations, use the ClimateNest full analysis tool.
ClimateNest assesses hazards at the address rather than the suburb, because exposure varies street by street within Woree. An address-level check is what tells you about a specific property before you buy, sell or insure it.
