Prospect Nature Reserve forms a major part of the catchment area for Prospect Reservoir and is located within a Special Area under the Sydney Water Catchment Management Act 1998 to protect its role as part of Sydney’s water supply.
Prospect Nature Reserve contains one of the largest remaining remnants of the critically endangered Cumberland Plain Woodland community, and therefore has a significant role in the conservation of regional biodiversity for western Sydney. The reserve also has cultural value to the Darug people.
The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 requires that a plan of management be prepared for each nature reserve.
