Yagan Square

Welcome to Yagan Square, a vibrant public space located in the eastern part of the Perth City Link precinct in Perth, Western Australia.

Named after the revered Aboriginal warrior Yagan, this 1.1-hectare square is an integral part of the Perth City Link, situated between the Horseshoe Bridge and the Perth Busport, and offers pedestrian access points from Roe Street in the north, Wellington Street in the south, Karak Walk and the Busport to the west and the Horseshoe Bridge to the east.

The design of Yagan Square draws inspiration from the cultural and historical significance of the land on which it is built, particularly to the Noongar people of Perth, as well as its location over the former Lakes Kingsford and Irwin. The square offers a range of amenities, including a small grassed area, a wildflower garden, an amphitheatre, and a significant public art installation.

Standing on the south-western corner of the square is a 45-metre-high digital tower known as the "Noongar Pinnacle," which has been designed to represent the fourteen Noongar language groups of Western Australia, displaying various artworks and short films in vivid detail on its wrap-around screen. On the south-eastern corner facing William Street, visitors can marvel at the imposing 9-meter (30-foot) statue of "Wirin", the Noongar term for the "sacred force of creative power that connects all life of boodja (mother earth)".

Running through the heart of Yagan Square is the "Waterline," a 190-metre-long water feature designed by Jon Tarry that echoes
