Hayters Hill Nature Reserve conserves an important remnant of lowland rainforest, an ecological community nationally recognised as critically endangered. This is important habitat for fruit-eating and rainforest dependent birds, and the reserve is part of a network of rainforest remnants which are critical to maintaining migratory pathways for fruit-doves and cuckoo-shrikes. It also provides habitat for a wide range of plants and animals used traditionally by Bundjalung Aboriginal people.

This plan of management was adopted by the Minister for the Environment on 29 October 2013 stating:

'This plan of management establishes the scheme of operations for Hayters Hill Nature Reserve. In accordance with section 73B of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974, I cancel the provisions of the Big Scrub Plan of Management relating to Hayters Hill Nature Reserve and hereby adopt this plan of management.'
