Notes:
The main vegetation type upstream of Kororoit Creek Road, for the length of Kororoit Creek, is a combination of Western Plains grassland, escarpment vegetation and riparian scrub along the watercourses. Western Plains grasslands were dominated in the past by Kangaroo Grass. The escarpment vegetation included Sweet Bursaria, Tree Violet and Blackwood. The Riparian woodlands were dominated by Red Gum, with scattered shrubs and a range of grassy wetland plants on the alluvial flats. Remnants of these vegetation communities along Kororoit Creek have been highlighted for protection.
