At location 6004650E 5514910N the species composition of AHF included Myriophyllum salsugineum, Triglochin procerum, Lilaeopsis polyantha, Lepilaena cylindrocarpa, Potamogeton pectinatus and Isolepis fluitans. Freshwater aquatic sedgeland and rushland (ASF) ASF is found on the fringes of lagoons and in poorly drained flats.

Vulnerable Native Vegetation Communities Succulent saline herbland (ASS) Listed nationally as vulnerable Subtropical and Temperate Coastal Saltmarsh under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, ASS is commonly found fringing many lagoons and sheltered bays, though difficult to map remotely because of its small distribution. ASS at Sandy Lagoon contained the listed threatened plant Wilsonia backhousei; other species present include Sarcocornia quinqueflora, Selliera radicans, Crassula decumbens and Wilsonia rotundifolia.
