Change of Conditions
You Yangs Regional Park is currently closed due to significant damage caused by recent heavy rainfall.
A reopening strategy is currently being developed. Details will be provided on this page when available. It is expected that the entire park will remain closed until at least 1 March 2011.

Safety hazards include extensive rutting on roads, tracks and car parks, loss of road surface, and possible asbestos exposure in areas where culverts have been damaged. Rangers have worked to assess the full scale of damage throughout the park and identify the work required to make the park safe for public use following the latest rain events.
