The water level had dropped to 6.96 metres at Narrabri Creek on Wednesday morning and was continuing to fall, the SES advised.

The creek peaked at 7.55 metres on Monday, November 29.

Ugoa Street, between Lantana and Villarette Avenue, could also remain impacted by floodwater.

In Wee Waa, the Namoi River (Glencoe) was 7.48 metres on Wednesday and falling.

“An extended peak, with major flooding, is expected for the remainder of the week,” a flood bulletin issued by the SES on Wednesday morning read.

In the bulletin, the SES warned that forecast rainfall on Wednesday and Thursday may cause further river rises and flooding in the Namoi River catchment.

“The situation is being closely monitored,” the flood bulletin read.

The floodwater surrounding Wee Waa has isolated the town, cutting off access on both sections of the Kamilaroi Highway in addition to Pilliga Road and Culgoora Road.

However, the supply of essential items has continued, via boat and helicopter.
