The locality’s boundaries were created in May 2002 for the “long established name” which is reported to be derived from the stream located within its boundaries.
The principal land use within the locality is conservation and some agriculture, with uncleared land and land adjoining the coastline having additional statutory constraints to 'conserve natural flora and fauna' and “conserve the natural features of the coast.”
