The council's waste facilities and waste transfer stations, water and sewer services, rubbish collection and planning and health survey functions are not affected at this time.

"Council outdoor work operations are being assessed to ensure the ongoing safety of our employees and the community," Ms Redden said.

Narromine Shire mayor Craig Davies is also reassuring elderly residents in the shire that help will be available amid the growing fears of COVID-19 and said this would be discussed this week.

"We are very mindful of the elderly people in the shire and we will be looking to see what further steps can be taken to ensure that they're are looked after during this period," he said.

"Because it will be a period of anxiety for a lot and we certainly want to give people the comfort that there's people they can talk to and there's help at hand should they need it."

Cr Davies also said while the situation was "overwhelming", panic buying in local supermarkets was unnecessary and asks people to be mindful.

"Were taking steps to ensure that whatever comes into town, stays in town, and people who come out here just to buy toilet paper will be turned away," councillor Davies said.

"We hope that sanity can prevail in our supermarkets, were all in this together, take what you need, don't hoard it, items are still being delivered on a regular basis."

Narromine's customer services and payments centre can be contacted on 6889 9999 and via online services. A reminder payments can be made via eNotices, over the phone or in person at any Australia Post branch.
