Dozens of evacuation warnings remain in place along the Hawkesbury River northwest of Sydney over an ongoing flood threat, while some people have been given the green light to return home.

Late on Saturday night residents in parts of Wisemans Ferry were told they could be isolated without power, water or other essentials as floodwaters at Sackville peaked overnight.
