The Yanchep Rail Extension will deliver the last proposed section of the Joondalup Line from Butler, 14.5 kilometres north to Yanchep.<\/p>\n

The local artists included two Noongar artists whose work is displayed at Alkimos Station, Eglington Station and Yanchep Station in Perth.<\/p>\n

The pieces at Alkimos Station 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.<\/p>\n

The artwork at Eglington Station displays colour in a significant role, highlighting the biodiversity of the region. Walking through the station, commuters will feel the echo of the ocean meeting the Tuart Forest.<\/p>\n

Yanchep Station\u2019s artwork encompasses a blend of form and function. The pieces range from interior art to shade canopies at the station entrance and reflect the flora, fauna and landscapes native to Yanchep.<\/p>\n

METRONET\u2019S Public Art Strategy\u00a0aims to ensure the program\u2019s legacy of transformative transport infrastructure and contribute to the unique identity of each station and precinct.<\/p>\n

The program-wide approach has guided public art delivery, drawing inspiration from Perth\u2019s Aboriginal and local culture, history, landscape and place.<\/p>\n
