The announcement was made by NSW Health on Monday, September 27 and further details will be shared by the department soon.
The restrictions were enforced for two weeks starting September 14 after a COVID-19 positive case was confirmed in the area.
NSW Health urges people across the state to continue to come forward for testing at the first sign of even mild symptoms.

High vaccination rates are also essential to reduce the risk of transmission and protect the health and safety of the community.
COVID-19 vaccination is available through NSW Health clinics, GPs, pharmacies and Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services (ACCHS).
A list of regional and rural NSW Health vaccination clinics is available on the NSW Government website.
70 per cent of the population over 16 years of age is expected to be fully vaccinated in the next few weeks with the first easing of restrictions on October 11 for those who are fully vaccinated.
The 80 per cent rate is expected to be hit just two weeks after the 70 per cent vaccination rate is reached.
That is when fully vaccinated citizens will be allowed to travel throughout the state, stand and drink, have 10 vaccinated guests to their homes and community sport will also recommence.
