This refers to changes in the climate – temperature, precipitation and sea level. The potential impact is the change in conditions that results in risks associated with heat waves, drought, flooding, wind, hail, cyclones, bushfires and relative humidity. Figure 9 provides an overview of the climate effects under consideration for this Project.

As part of this regional vulnerability assessment an agreed series of changes to temperature, precipitation and sea level rise (where relevant) have been modelled and mapped to provide an indication of the greatest exposure for the Region.
