National Estate important habitat was defined as areas of national significance in terms of concentrations of forest ecosystems dominated by winter-flowering species. Values identified were associated with nationally significant areas for a wide variety of forest-dependant species including forest migrants and species of coastal rainforest.
The areas identified included the forested and significantly unmodified areas along the great escarpment, rainforest areas under 300m above sea level and areas with concentrations of winter-flowering species.
