Together the park and reserve protect important areas of coastal plant and animal communities, including old growth forest, extensive heathland, estuarine and freshwater wetlands, dune ecosystems, a large number of threatened native animal species and biogeographically significant plant species.

A number of cultural features are found in the park, most notably Boyds Tower, Green Cape Lightstation and the ruins at Bittangabee Bay associated with whaling and lighthouse activities, as well as a large number of Aboriginal sites.

This plan of management was adopted on 17 November 2021. It was amended in January 2021 and September 2024. Incorporation of the September 2024 amendment into the plan of management is underway and the updated plan will be published as soon as possible.
