The reserves contain eight different forest types and over 110 plant species, including three species listed under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (TSC Act). In addition 135 animal species have been recorded in the reserves, including 10 threatened species listed under the TSC Act.
This plan of management provides for the protection of the native plants and animals found in the reserves, including the endangered native jute Corchorus cunninghamii which only occurs in a limited range within Bungabbee Nature Reserve.
It also provides for a cultural heritage study of the reserves in conjunction with the local Aboriginal community and development of fire management strategies.
