THREE pieces of public art connected to the city's history will grace the newly developed Wangaratta Railway Station, with councillors asked to endorse the concept designs of the works at the October council meeting on Tuesday night.

The works include two sculptures, one at the station entry and another in the rail yard garden, and a two-dimensional painting in the pedestrian underpass.

At the station entry, commuters and visitors will be greeted with a sculpture resembling woven baskets: "a welcoming beacon; three white bronze woven discs on stainless steel posts of various heights and sizes (2-3 metres)".

Aboriginal artists Aunty Kim Wandin and Chris Joy explained that 'Journey' will be a place to stop and contemplate, to bring individual and personal interpretations.

Aunty Wandin explained that her Granny Jemima was a weaver and handed her knowledge down to her and the project would seek to honour her grandmother as a strong but gentle woman.

Ms Joy explained that woven baskets and fish traps resonate with cultural and spiritual significance, sustainable resource collection and ceremonial purpose.

The new pedestrian underpass will have a 2D artwork on the wall designed by Yorta Yorta man Tommy Day and Juddy Roller.

"The design reflects the colours of country family to the area," Mr Day said.

"It's reflective of the sun rising and settings...touching the landscape and changing the way it looks and feels.

"As people make their way through the underpass to either embark or begin travel, they are reminded of the colours of home."

The third artwork, a sculpture in the Rail Yard Garden designed by Melbourne-based visual artist Robbie Rowlands, will be made from rail tongs that workers historically used to lift and carry rail track.

"Stacked atop each other, the tongs create a structure that reflects the body, with the repetitive form appearing spine-like," Mr Rowlands described.

"A subtle twist and height symbolises the strength and agility that would have been expected of these workers."

Mr Rowlands' works have been described as spotlighting the history, humanity and function of this subjects.

Inland Rail engaged Greenshoot Consulting to support the development of the Heritage Interpretation works at the Wangaratta Railway Station Precinct.
