The Central Creek Landscape zone, has a drainage system which characterises the zone, formed by the meanderings of Broken Creek and Nine Mile Creek. The riverine plain land system is relatively well-drained in the north and west of the zone, with leveed streams and some channels and depressions. However, the landform further east, around Marungi, Drumanure and Invergordon North, is that of a slightly raised flat plain with few surface features. Pre-1750 vegetation cover over most of the zone, in association with the meandering creek system, was plains grassy woodland / gilgai plains woodland / wetland mosaic. Along the streambeds themselves were creekline grassy woodland, creekline grassy woodland / redgum wetland mosaic, or drainage line complex. On better-drained parts of the plain, in the south-east and south-west of the zone, pine box woodland / riverina plains grassy woodland mosaic and plains grassy woodland EVCs were extensive. As is the case across much of the wider plan area today, the main refuge of remnant native vegetation is basically the stream frontage, with roadside remnants, where they persist, tending to be poorly connected and having highly disturbed understorey. Native vegetation is virtually absent from private land in this zone, other than as individual trees or small, usually degraded scraps of woodland. Priority species in the zone include Intermediate Egret, Superb Parrot, Bush Stone-curlew, Little Bittern, Mueller Daisy, Ridged Water-milfoil, Long Eryngium, Yellow-tongue Daisy and Bluish Raspwort. Priority sites include Black Swamp Wildlife Reserve and BRs on the Broken–Boosey Creek system; all Public Land Water Frontage and Streamside Reserve on Broken, Nine Mile and Boosey Creeks; Numurkah–Nathalia Railway Reserve, near Numurkah; significant roadside on Katamatite–Nathalia Road, Dunbulbalane; Numurkah Rifle Range; and significant freehold remnants at Mundoona.
