Climate & hazards
- Flood overlay
- Within an official flood overlay (inundation / floodway / overland) · 14.5% of the SA2
This shows whether the Kew - West 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.
Where did the gain come from?
+175Reading the streams: overseas arrivals were the dominant force — more came from abroad than the suburb grew on its own.
