28 July 2021: Murrumbidgee River at 6.1 metres

The Murrumbidgee River has reached level of 6.1 metres. With the continued release of water by WaterNSW to create room for more rain into the dams (airspace) we will see the river rise to approximately 7 metres over the coming days and hold steady.

Currently, parts of the Wiradjuri Reserve and Trail are inaccessible. Wagga Wagga Beach is closed, with flooding levels affecting the barbecue areas, pedestrian pathways and playground area.

A level of 7 metres means that low-lying areas near the river may be affected, but the river will remain within its banks.

For real-time data for the Murrumbidgee in Wagga Wagga head to WaterNSW.

Other updates:

The Wagga Wagga beach precinct will be closed. Flooding levels will affect the barbecue areas, pedestrian pathways and playground area.
