Shepparton's new multi-million dollar courthouse (pictured) is, along with the rest of the city, at risk of being uninsurable because of risks posed by climate change -  Shepparton proper is on a flood plain and so threatened with flooding.

Yes, Shepparton is a benign place, but it is strikingly flat and while for decades that has been a bonus allowing for extensive irrigation, it is now a burden as widespread flooding under a new climate regime could bring major flooding.

You can read about this dilemma in the SBS story - "One in 25 Australian properties will be uninsurable by 2030 due to climate change, report warns"; or in the story by Climate Councillor, NIcki Hutley, in a Melbourne Age story "Climate change is making our homes uninsurable"; or a story from The Guardian - "Flood and cyclone-prone areas in eastern Australia may be ‘uninsurable’ by 2030, report suggests".

The report from the Climate Council - "One in 25 Australian homes uninsurable by 2030: Climate Council launches cutting edge digital climate-risk map".

And on the ABC it was: "Climate change means 1 in 25 homes could become uninsurable by 2030, report warns".
