Blackguard Gully played an integral role in the shaping of the Young Township and the migration history of Australia. Council has been working with landscape architects and a community working group to develop a draft Masterplan for Blackguard Gully. The draft Masterplan aims to unlock the potential of the Blackguard Gully site, positioning it as a tourism destination for the region, a recreational asset for locals and visitors, and a community meeting place.

The vision for Blackguard Gully, developed through the ideas and aspirations of the community, is to create a place where history is recognised, understood and celebrated.
