Abstract
To assess the impacts of climate change on Australian communities, a benchmark is required of the current level of severe wind risk. Phase I of the National Wind Risk Assessment assessed the annualised loss due to severe wind in urban areas across Australia, using the regional design wind speeds as defined in AS/NZS 1170.2 (2002) as a substitute for wind hazard. The regional wind speeds used in the Standard were determined from analysis of long-term records of daily maximum gust wind speeds.In this study, Geoscience Australia has used new statistical models to develop a spatially specific understanding of wind hazard arising from tropical cyclones (TCs), synoptic storms and thunderstorms.
