Climate & hazards
- Bushfire overlay
- Within the official Bushfire Management Overlay · 30.5% of the SA2
This shows whether the Castlemaine Surrounds SA2 intersects an official Victorian government hazard overlay, and the share of the SA2 area it covers. It is the published overlay extent — not a risk rating, hazard score, or insurance assessment, and we compute none. A single property inside the SA2 may or may not be affected. Not financial or insurance advice — check the current planning scheme and your insurer for any specific address.
