The ban begins at midnight on Monday, November 18. No fires may be lit in the open and all fire permits are suspended.
Temperatures in the region are predicted to reach 34 degrees, with strong north-westerly winds also forecast.
The Greater Hunter, Greater Sydney Region, Southern Ranges, Central Ranges, Northern Slopes, and North Western will also have a total fire ban in place.
The Rural Fire Service encourages people to ensure their home is well-prepared and maintained.
"Well-maintained homes that are actively defended may provide safety during a fire," an RFS spokesperson said.
They also encouraged residents to remain vigilant, listen to their radio, and follow their Bush Fire Plan in the event of a fire.
