In 2018 prior to watering, the Warrego Street site contained a spattering of lignum, nitre and river salt bush as well as black box along the western side. The main ground cover plant at this site was samphire, but there was also desert glasswort and round-leaf pigface.
The Warrego Street infrastructure was installed in March 2021 ready for the 2021-22 water year. The Renmark North Primary School engaged with the project and visited the site to observe the monitoring and to see the first flush in a test operation. The first environmental water delivery in July-September 2021 was successful and the site has had water delivered each year since.
Frog diversity is high at Warrego Street with the southern bell frog, eastern banjo frog, long thumbed frog, spotted marsh frog, Peron’s tree frog and Murray Valley froglet recorded. Bird diversity is also high, with 18 waterbird species and 26 woodland bird species observed at the site.
Revegetation occured at Warrego Street in November 2025. the project was supported by the Murraylands and Riverland Landscape Board through funding from the landscape levies. Students from local schools came together to plant native floodplain species and the event was registered as a Forest of Hope in honor of Dr Jane Goodall. 650 plants of the following species were planted:
- Spreading emu bush (Eromophila divaricata)
- Bigonia emu bush (Eremophila bignoniiflora)

- Creeping salt bush (Atriplex semibaccata)
- Nitre bush (Nitraria billardierei)
