The Tararua District Council is asking residents to fill out an online survey on the impacts of Cyclone Gabrielle.

The survey asks a number of questions on how the cyclone impacted different parts of the district, and the Council says responses will help advocate to government what the biggest impacts and needs are, and to plan for recovery support going forward.

Even those who were hardly impacted, or not impacted at all, are asked to complete the survey.

Responses close on the 9th of June.
