The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation 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 List	Season (year/s of estimate)	Size	IBA criteria
Baudin's Black-cockatoo Zanda baudinii	CR	non-breeding (2004–2008)	450 birds	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

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 of popul­ation/area (>90%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations)	high
Biological resource use	happe­ning now	few indivi­duals/small area (<10%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations)	low
Human intrusions and disturbance	happe­ning now	few indivi­duals/small area (<10%)	no or slight decline (<1% over 3 gener­ations)	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
Little/none of area covered (<10%)	Unknown	Some limited conservation initiatives are in place	very low

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

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.
