Help create a new flood model for Haslams Creek

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.

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.

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.

As thanks for participating in the Draft Haslams Creek Flood Study project, we’re offering residents the chance to win one of 10 gift e-gift cards.

The first person to complete their submission with photographs or videos will receive a $100 gift card. The following nine people to make a submission with photographs or videos, will receive a $50 gift card.

Please make your submission before 5pm Wednesday 11 December 2024.
