The tidal limit of Haslams Creek is located 350 metres (1,150 ft) upstream of the Great Western Highway.

The New South Wales Olympic Coordination Authority commissioned the restoration of two saline wetlands in Homebush Bay: one in the suburb of North Newington, the other at Haslams Creek.

During the subsequent 2-year monitoring period, growth and survival rates were documented in an effort to better understand the effects of salinity, sedimentation, and tidal influence on the species' survival, and to predict patterns of colonisation and zonation in the recreated saltmarsh systems.

[2] Haslams Creek Bridge, listed on the New South Wales Heritage and conservation register, constructed circa 1928, is a single span reinforced concrete bridge located at Lidcombe, crossing Parramatta Road (also called the Great Western Highway).

The bridge and its adjacent culvert, still in current use, are historically significant in that the bridge's construction enabled the extension of Parramatta Road in a straight line and helped fuel industrial growth in the suburbs of Auburn, Clyde, Granville and Parramatta, and beyond.
