P. westralis thrives primarily in mangrove habitats, but it is also found in adjacent thickets and riverine forests.

Although its habitat is limited, it is common across its range and its population seems to be stable.

The only current major threat to the species is habitat loss.

It is present in a number of protected areas including Kakadu and Keep River National Parks, and the Prince Regent Nature Reserve.
