Key Facts
- Climate Safety
- High
- Flood
- Eildon faces a high risk of flooding due to its proximity to the Eildon Dam and the Goulburn River. Heavy rainfall events can lead to rapid increases in water levels, inundating low-lying areas.
- Bushfire
- The surrounding forested areas make Eildon susceptible to bushfires, particularly during hot and dry conditions. The risk is exacerbated by strong winds and the accumulation of dry vegetation.
- Heat
- Eildon experiences moderately high temperatures during summer, with the potential for heatwaves. This can pose a risk to vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions.
- Storm
- Moderate storm risk — severe thunderstorms with hail and damaging winds
