Climate & hazards

Live
Bushfire overlay
Within the designated Bush Fire Prone Land

This shows whether the Cooma Surrounds SA2 intersects an official New South Wales government hazard overlay. 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.
