“When it opens in 2017, Yagan Square will introduce thousands of local residents, tourists and city workers to Aboriginal culture and showcase the very best of Western Australian produce,” Mr Day said. “In addition to being a new city destination and events venue, Yagan Square will bring to life the iconic Horseshoe Bridge to tell the stories of the traditional owners and provide a unique market hall food and dining experience in the heart of the CBD.”
