The Epoch Times New South Wales Premier Dominic Perrottet on Thursday morning has visited the central-western town of Forbes where the threat of rising floodwaters is likely to linger for days, with more rain forecast in the coming days.
He was joined by Deputy Premier Paul Toole and Emergency Services Minister David Elliott to receive a briefing from State Emergency Service (SES) chiefs.
Hundreds of people have come back home after flood warnings were downgraded and local State Emergency Commander Rocky Walshaw says sandbagging properties and other preparations over the past week have paid off.
