6pm: THE river search for a missing Wagga man has ended for the day. 

Police divers and other emergency service agencies have finished today's Murrumbidgee River search for the 23-year-old who hasn't been seen for close to 24 hours.

The search will resume on Sunday with a boat to patrol each side of the river at 7am. 

Divers will then take to the water at about 8am.

SATURDAY 4pm: EMERGENCY crews have finished scouring the banks of the Murrumbidgee River in Wagga as the search for a missing 23-year-old man continues in the water.

Inspector Peter Robertson, from Wagga police, said volunteers from the State Emergency Service (SES) and members of the Volunteer Rescue Association (VRA) had completed their land search. 

Police trail bikes also were used.

Members of the man's family - including two people believed to be his parents - have watched on as police divers continue to conduct sweeps of the water.

The level of the river means they are yet to don their full diving gear. 

"They'll keep doing the sweeps they've been doing because the river's so shallow," Inspector Robertson told The Daily Advertiser on Saturday afternoon.

The search will continue until dark.

Inspector Robertson confirmed a short time ago that it would resume on Sunday, if nothing is found.

"The divers will be back in the morning to finish their search," he said.

A boat is expected to patrol each side of the river at 7am, with divers due to begin their search at about 8am.

It is anticipated they will conduct underwater searches on Sunday.

EARLIER SATURDAY: Police divers have arrived in Wagga to join a land and river search for a 23-year-old man.

The man was last seen on the banks of the Murrumbidgee River at Wiradjuri Reserve, near the CBD, some time on Friday night.

Volunteers from the State Emergency Service and Volunteer Rescue Association have been on the water all morning, but are yet to find any sign of the missing man.

A mobile command centre has been established at Wiradjuri Reserve.
