Kattang Nature Reserve Plan of Management

The reserve is one of a number of reserves on the mid north coast of NSW which together protect a range of landforms and related biological features demonstrating the evolution of the coastline between the Manning and the Macleay Rivers.

The primary purpose for dedication of Kattang Nature Reserve was to preserve an area of significant coastal biotic communities and important geomorphological features with high scenic value. It supports a wide range of coastal vegetation communities, including wet and dry heathland, littoral rainforest and headland complexes. It also provides habitat for a diverse range of wildlife, including for threatened species such as the koala and birds protected under international agreements.

The reserve is listed on the Register of the National Estate for its high scenic quality and natural diversity.
