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
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
Australian Logrunner Orthonyx temminckii	LC	resident (1998–2008)	abundant	A3
Pale-yellow Robin Tregellasia capito	LC	resident (1998–2008)	abundant	A2

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	most of popul­ation/area (50–90%)	no or slight decline (<1% over 3 gener­ations)	low
Human intrusions and disturbance	happe­ning now	most of popul­ation/area (50–90%)	no or slight decline (<1% over 3 gener­ations)	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
