Locals flocked to areas like the Jewry Street bridge, Bridge Street and Paradise Bridge to take in the sight of the swollen river.

The NSW State Emergency Service (SES) confirmed the Peel River peaked at 4.25m at about 7pm on Tuesday, which is considered a moderate level flood.

Tamworth SES volunteers have been working around the clock, responding to localised flooding and calls for help.

New England North West SES deputy zone commander Mitch Parker said his crews were "kaput" after "working their guts out" to keep the community safe.

"The SES responded to more than 100 calls for assistance in the past probably 48 hours," he said.

It is understood a team from the south coast will cruise into Tamworth today to help with a few lingering jobs trickling in, as the local crews catch up on a well-earned rest.

Minor flooding is expected to continue in Tamworth throughout Wednesday.

Water surging down the Peel River lapped at the banks at Paradise, while water spilled out onto roads and parkland at Jewry Street and riverside.

A flood bulletin was issued by the local SES team just after 9am on Wednesday, announcing no further flooding is expected for Tamworth's river.

The SES confirmed the water level dropped below the minor flood mark of 3m in the early hours of Wednesday, and was continuing to fall during the morning.

There are still roads closed across the region as local roads recover from the deluge.

More than 94mm was dumped on Tamworth during the downpour earlier in the week, and rain in both the Peel River catchment and the Cockburn River catchment has boosted the Peel flowing through Tamworth.
