Most of Australia is designated Region A which
indicates a Regional Wind Velocity of 43 m/s with
wind average recurrence of 200 years.
Some areas are designated Region B (52 m/s). Local
authorities will advise if this applies in your area.
Region C areas (64 m/s) are generally referred to as
Cyclonic and are generally limited to northern coastal
areas. Most Region C zones end 100km inland.
Some areas are designated Region B (52 m/s). Local
Region D (79 m/s) is Australia's most extreme Cyclonic
Region, located between the town of Carnarvon and

Wind regions are pre-defined for the whole of Australia by the Australian Standard 1170.2. The Wind Region is an
independent factor of surrounding topography or buildings.
Region Definition:
Determine the wind region of your installation site
Determine the Terrain Category
You will need to determine the terrain category to ensure the installation meets the required standard.
Terrain Category 1 (TC1) – Very exposed open terrain with very few or no obstructions, and all water surfaces, e.g. flat,
treeless, poorly grassed plains; open ocean, rivers, canals, bays and lakes.
