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
Albert's Lyrebird Menura alberti	LC	resident	1993-2005	34-42 males	A1, A2, A3
Green Catbird Ailuroedus crassirostris	LC	resident	1998-2008	abundant	A2, A3
Regent Bowerbird Sericulus chrysocephalus	LC	resident	1998-2008	uncommon	A2, 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 (2008) 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	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low
Human intrusions and disturbance	happening now	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas	Management plan	Other action	Result
Not assessed	Not assessed	Not assessed	not assessed

Year	Protected Area	Designation	% overlap with IBA
-	Numala Community Nature Refuge	Nature Park (Aboriginal)	<1

2008	Nunkeri	Nature Refuge	<1
2009	Illallangi	Nature Refuge	<1
2014	Tamborine	National Park	10
