The conservation park was proclaimed under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 on 14 December 1972.[4] In 1980, the following state of significance was published:

Nene Valley Conservation Park preserves an area of vegetation typical of sandy coasts in the south-east of South Australia. This vegetation complex has suffered through the effects of clearing and grazing throughout much of its former range.[6]
