The Dwarf Kerrawang is listed as endangered nationally and in Victoria. The species was first recorded at Dutson Downs in 2007 during a flora survey conducted by Wildlife Unlimited and the Latrobe Valley and Bairnsdale Field Naturalists Clubs (Douglas et al. 2008). The Dwarf Kerrawang has been observed in at least 17 wetlands at Dutson Downs. The number of plants observed per wetland ranges between 2 and 225 (Douglas, Nieuwland and Reside 2009).
Management plans for the Dwarf Kerrawang within Dutson Downs are currently being drafted.
