A new public artwork celebrating First Nations heritage in Kwinana has been installed.

Main Roads WA contributed $300,000 for the public artwork and a further $250,000 was allocated by the City, collected from the developer contributions that are applied to public art.

The artist team included Susan Milne, Greg Stonehouse and Nyoongar Yamatji artist Justin Martin, supported by Nyoongar Yamatji cultural advisor Cheryl Martin and a technical team.
