Both reserves provide habitat for a diversity of plants and animals including threatened species such as the Red-crowned Toadlet, Powerful Owl and White-bellied Sea Eagle.

This draft Reserve Action Plan outlines the management objectives for the next 5 years to protect and preserve Willis Park’s natural features. Actions include bush regeneration, monitoring of encroachments and increasing suitable habitat for wildlife
