City of Parramatta Council is reviewing flood modelling around Haslams Creek. We’re asking the community to help by sharing their experiences of flooding.
Residents in Lidcombe, Newington, Sydney Olympic Park and Wentworth Point are invited to share their flood experiences and submit photographs or videos of local flooding events.
What is a flood study, why do we need them?
Flood studies allow Council, Emergency Services and the community to identify the risks from different size flood events, from small floods up to the largest possible flood. New technology allows flood models to map flooding from overflowing rivers, creeks and dams, as well as overland flooding – the water from stormwater systems that can contribute to flooding in our community.
City of Parramatta can use this information for planning and to introduce infrastructure to address flooding. Council, Emergency Services, and residents can also make plans to manage our response to flooding and keep our community safe.
How can you help build a new flood model?
The Draft Haslams Creek Flood Study is an important step in delivering the Hill Road Upgrade which will eventually see the incidence and severity of local flooding reduced.
To join the project, find out more, or book an appointment with a Council officer, please visit Participate Parramatta.
