Yagan Square

Yagan Square is a public square in central Perth, Western Australia, located between Perth Railway Station and Horseshoe Bridge at the junction of Wellington and William Streets. Opened on 3 March 2018 as part of the Perth City Link project, it reconnects the central business district with Northbridge. Named after Whadjuk Noongar warrior Yagan, the square features a Market Hall, amphitheatre, digital tower, water feature and Noongar artworks as a community gathering and events space.

Visitors can expect an open, modern urban square with paved plazas, landscaped gardens, tiered amphitheatre seating, a large digital tower and canopy, and a water feature. The central Market Hall offers food and beverage outlets and small retail tenancies. Public art including the Wirin sculpture and interpretive elements reflecting Noongar culture are integrated throughout. The square connects directly to Perth Railway Station and Horseshoe Bridge and hosts markets, performances and community events.

Opened on 3 March 2018 as the centrepiece of the Perth City Link project which sank the Perth railway lines to reconnect the CBD and Northbridge. Named after Yagan (c.1795-1833), a Whadjuk Noongar warrior, the square was developed by the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority (now DevelopmentWA) on former railway land.

The square acknowledges Whadjuk Noongar culture and heritage through its name, design and public art. Features such as the Wirin sculpture, storytelling elements and Noongar language and patterns recognise the site's significance to the Noongar people and provide cultural interpretation for visitors.
