The rain ultimately resulted in flooded roads across the region due to raised water levels at Macquarie River and its tributaries.
The low-level bridge at Hereford Street became submerged in the early hours of Sunday morning, while Eleven Mile Drive was shut due to water over the road at Saltram Creek.
Ophir Road, Turondale Road, Lagoon Road and Freemantle Road were all closed too.
The rain is expected to ease the coming days, however, Weatherzone is forecasting further rather later in the week on Thursday and Friday, which could bring up to 20mm across the two days.
