The site was identified as important in 2009 because it was regularly supporting significant populations of the species listed below, meeting ('triggering') IBA criteria.

Populations meeting IBA criteria ('trigger species') at the site:

Species	Red List1	Season	Year(s)	Size	IBA criteria
Baudin's Black-cockatoo Zanda baudinii	CR	non-breeding	2004-2008	450 individuals	A1, A2, A3, A4ii
Carnaby's Black-cockatoo Zanda latirostris	EN	non-breeding	2004-2008	15	A1, A3
Red-capped Parrot Purpureicephalus spurius	LC	resident	1998-2008	abundant	A3
Rufous Treecreeper Climacteris rufus	LC	resident	1998-2008	uncommon	A3
Western Spinebill Acanthorhynchus superciliosus	LC	resident	1998-2008	abundant	A3
Western Thornbill Acanthiza inornata	LC	resident	1998-2008	abundant	A3
Western Yellow Robin Eopsaltria griseogularis	LC	resident	1998-2008	common	A3

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2009) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2009. The most recent assessment (2020) is shown below.

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Invasive and other problematic species and genes	happening now	whole area/population (>90%)	slow but significant deterioration	high
Biological resource use	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	low
Human intrusions and disturbance	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas	Management plan	Other action	Result
Little/none of site covered (<10%)	Unknown	Some limited conservation initiatives are in place	negligible

Habitat1	Habitat detail	% of IBA
Forest	Eucalypt open forests, Eucalypt woodlands	major (>10)

1. IUCN Habitat classification.

Land use	% of IBA
nature conservation and research	major (>10)
water management	major (>10)
rangeland/pastureland	major (>10)
forestry	minor (<10)

Private landholders (farmers, peri-urban residents); state forests (Department of Environment and Conservation); local government; service providers (Western Power); Water Corporation.
