The initial survey of the Bookmark Creek Wetlands North West Basin in 2018, indicated there was some swamp oak encroachment from the adjacent woodlot. The site was covered with samphire and also a diverse array of other species including cumbungi, bushy starwort, and other low salinity tolerant species.
First environmental water delivery at the site occurred in July 2021. Frog species recorded include the Eastern Banjo Frog, Spotted Marsh Frog, Peron’s Tree Frog and Murray Valley Froglet. During bird surveys, 10 species of waterbird and 14 species of woodland bird have been observed.
