Plan for future of You Yangs

The You Yangs Precinct Masterplan has been released by the Andrews Labor Government, ensuring the You Yangs Regional Park and Serendip Sanctuary are protected and can be enjoyed by everyone for generations to come.
Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change Lily D’Ambrosio said the masterplan for the future of the You Yangs “respects the deep connection that Wadawurrung Traditional Owners have to these lands and waters and strikes the right balance between conservation and visitation.”
The You Yangs has a rich cultural landscape with a history dating back more than 30,000 years. The masterplan sets out how this important area will be managed in the future.
The plan aligns with the aspirations of the Wadawurrung people, Traditional Owners of the land, for future joint management of the park. More immediately, opportunities for cultural education, cultural trails and visitor information are proposed.
Under the plan, Serendip Sanctuary will continue to be available for wildlife conservation and breeding programs and visitor facilities for schools and groups in the sanctuary will be upgraded.
The popularity of the You Yangs Regional Park as a mountain-biking destination is reflected in a recommendation to create a mountain-biking hub with improved facilities, as well as a kiosk and storage rooms that could be used
for events.
The masterplan includes options to upgrade the visitor information centre, carparks, picnic and BBQ areas, and existing tracks and trails to support activities like bushwalking, trail-running, sightseeing, rock-climbing and abseiling and horse riding.
