FloodSmart Parramatta - Flood Warning Service

By subscribing to the FloodSmart Parramatta - Flood Warning Service (Service), you acknowledge and agree to the following:

1. The Service is provided by City of Parramatta Council (Council), as part of a collaborative project between Council, Sydney Water Corporation, NSW State Emergency Services, Office for Environment and Heritage, Bureau of Meteorology and Greater Sydney Local Land Services (together the Project Group).
2. The Service intends to provide to you, via alert message sent through FloodSmart Parramatta, early warning of potential flash flooding to specific locations based on publicly available information.
3. While Council will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that the Service is provided to you at the earliest opportunity, the System relies on telecommunication networks to send alerts and the delivery of message cannot be guaranteed.

You may make an application for access or amendment to personal information held by Council. Council will consider any such application in accordance with the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998. Council is the agency that holds the personal information.
