Cockburn Central railway station

Two billboard-sized artworks, titled "Face of the Community", were installed on the north and south faces of a tower at the station in 2006. The $40,000 artwork was created by artists Rodney Glick and Marco Marcon and featured the image of a young boy and a middle-aged woman who are not real people but a composite generation from over 250 photos of residents from the Cockburn area.[21] Since its erection, the artworks (which are clearly visible from the Kwinana Freeway) have received polarised opinions from the community.[22] The Public Transport Authority considered removing the artworks in 2015 after a rise in social media comments but following consultation with the council and a public survey, the artwork was retained.[23] The condition of the artworks deteriorated over time and in October 2019, the two images were removed due to safety concerns.[24][21] In December 2019, the state government launched an online survey with members of the public asked to select what should replace the artworks from four choices — new artwork, an analogue clock, digital advertising or restoring the original artwork.[25][26]

On 23 June 2015, artwork by Perth artist Lyn Merrington was installed on the western face of the station's tower. Titled "Places of the Community", the $30,000 artwork featured painted images of the 10 most-loved locations in Cockburn and landmarks visited most often by local residents, as determined by an online survey. The original paintings were donated to local organisations.[27]
