Emergency evacuations were also ordered for hundreds of residents in dozens of low lying areas including the Bankstown Aerodrome, Picnic Point, East Hills and Milperra after the Bureau of Meteorology issued flood warnings for both the Georges and Cooks Rivers.
The Georges River peaked at Milperra at 5.3m early Monday morning with major flooding higher than the 1988 flood, and at Picnic Point at 2.3m on Monday afternoon with minor flooding.
The Live Traffic NSW website also has up-to-date info on road closures.
