All three games will go ahead this weekend as planned.
In a note to all clubs, NSW Country Rugby chief executive Stephen O'Brien said current zone competitions will be the defined boundaries for traveling with regards to rugby participation.
All six Lower North Coast clubs are members of the Mid North Coast Zone.
"Any teams playing in a zone competition will be able to travel and play even if that is not the club's traditional zone or local government area,'' Mr O'Brien said.
"Travel is allowed across local government areas to play in the zone competition.''

However, Mr Jones reminded clubs to be active towards continued compliance of the COVID Safety Plan.
"Focus on social distancing at venues,'' he said.
"Crowd numbers will still be restricted to 500 and this includes includes players, volunteers and spectators.
"While we are able to keep our competitions going there has been some accommodations made to ensure that all the most important part of rugby - our club competitions - can play out their season.''
Mr O'Brien also advised clubs to minimise unnecessary travel within zone for rugby related activities and said all NSW Rugby State championships and events have been cancelled for 2020.
There are four rounds remaining in the LNC competition-proper.
