Public art celebrates Yanchep

  • 12 August 2024

From beautiful landscapes to a snapshot of the biodiversity of the Yanchep region, the nine public art pieces on the Yanchep Rail Extension celebrate culture, history and environment. Created by eight local artists, including two Noongar artists, the pieces are spread across the three new stations.

Alkimos Station: collectively, the artworks incorporate aspects of the landscape and culture of Alkimos, including the Melaleuca Paperbark tree, the connection between land and water, and the story of the rainbow serpent.

Eglinton Station: colour plays a significant role in the artwork, highlighting the biodiversity of the region. Walking through the station, commuters will feel the echo of the ocean meeting the Tuart Forest.

Yanchep Station: a beautiful blend of form and function, these vibrant art pieces range from interior art to shade canopies at the station entrance and reflect the flora, fauna and landscapes native to Yanchep.
