PROPERTIES have reportedly been damaged and there are fears some may have been lost as an out of control bushfire continues to blaze in the NSW Hunter region.
The NSW Rural Fire Service says it has received unconfirmed reports that properties have been burned in Port Stephens.
A scrub fire is burning the Tilligerry State Conservation area between Salt Ash and Tanilba Bay and in the Fingal Bay area, also in Port Stephens.
Authorities have set up an evacuation centre at a community hall in Williamtown.
An emergency warning has also been issued for Singleton, where residents are being advised to shelter as the fire-front approaches.
It was 32C in Sydney at 5.45pm (AEDT) on Sunday and the temperature was rising toward the forecast of 36C.
A change sweeping through the state is expected to drop temperatures by as much as 10 degrees when it reaches Wollongong by 6pm and Sydney by 9pm.
The Bureau of Meteorology says the strong cold front will bring damaging winds of around 50 km/h with peak gusts of 90km/h.
The NSW Rural Fire Service has banned the lighting of fires for Sunday in large parts of NSW, including greater Sydney.
Meanwhile, a grass fire near Sydney Olympic Park has been extinguished.
The fire in Homebush in Sydney's west destroyed over 40 cars, Fire and Rescue NSW Superintendent Ian Krimmer told AAP.
Three people have been treated for smoke inhalation and 1500 were evacuated from a nearby aquatic centre.
Superintendent Krimmer says there are "hundreds and hundreds" of cars parked in the carpark.
Authorities will allow people to access their cars once the area has been declared safe.
