Within the survey, you can pin specific locations on the map where you've experienced flooding and upload any photos or videos of the event.

The first ten residents to provide information and pictures will win gift vouchers!

To thank residents for taking the time to find pictures or video of recent flood events and to report their experiences, City of Parramatta will provide a $100 e-gift card to the first resident who has completed the survey and submitted images of flooding in this area. The next nine residents to submit their completed survey with local flood images will receive a $50 e-gift card.
