Climate Change Impact on Property Market

Climate change is affecting the property market, with increasing instances of natural disasters such as bushfires and floods.

Examples include the 2019/20 Black Summer Bushfires, which destroyed over 3,000 homes, and the 2022 Lismore floods, which inundated almost 2,000 homes.
