The locality’s boundaries were created in May 2002 for the “long established name” which is reported to be derived from the stream located within its boundaries.[2][8]

The principal land use within the locality is agriculture with land adjoining the coastline having additional statutory constraints to “conserve the natural features of the coast.”[9][2]
