Covering an area of 499 hectares, the reserve has significant cultural and environmental values. It contains Aboriginal cultural heritage sites, areas of significant indigenous vegetation and a number of sporting venues. The reserve is being developed to strengthen and enhance the area as a spiritual and historic place in which people can experience cultural and natural environments and undertake recreational pursuits in a quality rural setting.

Flora & Fauna - The reserve forms part of an important wildlife corridor in the Melbourne region, providing connecting habitat between a number of parklands. The reserve is home to significant species such as the Sugar Glider (Petaurus breviceps) and Powerful Owl (Ninox strenua). Forming the western boundary, the Dandenong Creek provides habitat for at least four native fish species.

• Within the reserve there are about 90 native plant species in three vegetation communities including swamp scrub. Remnants of this community can be found along the Dandenong Creek. Swamp scrub comprises many plant species including thickets of Swamp Paperbark, shrub layers of Prickly Currant Bush, Bidgee Widgee and stands of Swamp Gum. Remnant swamp scrub communities throughout Melbourne have been depleted, making this a site of regional significance.
