Almost half of the area consists of a semi-mature secondary woodland located to the south of Deep Water Bay Golf Course. The overstorey of this woodland is dominated by mature trees. The middle and understorey of this woodland are colonized by common small trees and shrubs. Common woody climbers and climbing shrubs are recorded within this secondary woodland.

Developed area mainly comprises Deep Water Bay Golf Course, Deep Water Bay Road and some residential blocks. This habitat is largely vegetated with planted vegetation, including the extensive turf ground in the golf course and planted palms. The residential blocks located close to the downstream section are colonized with naturally established herbs and potted plants.
