Retain and enhance the view corridor along Baylis Street, providing a built form that accentuates Wagga Wagga Train Station as a key landmark.

Ensure the civic plaza supports the landmark status of the station by framing the station building at an appropriate scale, graduating building height to meet a new civic space.

A public plaza at the station entrance will welcome visitors and residents alike, leveraging the significant built and indigenous heritage of Wagga Wagga in a public art and events space. Permeability across the rail corridor is currently poor, and particularly so for pedestrians and cyclists.
