Stony Creek Nature Reserve contains a representative sample of grassy box woodland, which is listed as an endangered ecological community under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. The reserve has abundant bird life, including woodland species listed as vulnerable under the Threatened Species Conservation Act.
Management of Stony Creek Nature Reserve will focus on maintaining and enhancing the diversity of the grassy understorey and the integrity of the grassy woodland community.
The National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 requires a plan of management to be prepared for each park and reserve. A plan of management is a legal document that outlines how a reserve will be managed in the years ahead.
