Wyndham City's public art project, Mooroop Yarkeen, has received a Maggolee Award from Reconciliation Victoria.

After consultation with Bunurong Traditional Owners, local Indigenous communities, and a public Expression of Interest process, the Council appointed Victorian artist Tommy Day, represented by Mamam, to design and install the 41-metre-tall mural.

The Gunditjmara, Wemba Wemba and Yorta Yorta artist, also known as Jirri Jirri, incorporated various elements to reflect cultural perspectives and expressions, responding to themes and cultural input from the local community.

"The mural is vibrant, vivid, rich in texture and references to the Wirribi Yaluk (Werribee River), sandhills and Basalt plains, welcoming gum leaves, community coming together in unity, dreaming, and Bunjil's flight," Mr Day said.

Wyndham City Mayor Jennie Barrera expressed pride in seeing the 41-metre-tall mural on the façade of Holiday Inn Werribee recognised at the annual awards, which celebrate local governments working with Indigenous people to advance reconciliation.

"It's an honour to receive this award during National Reconciliation Week," Cr Barrera said.

"This award is testament to a wonderful collaboration between Wyndham City, artist Tommy Day / Jirri Jirri (represented by MAMAM), Bunurong Land Council, Koling wada-ngal Aboriginal Corporation, Wunggurrwil Dhurrung Community Centre, Holiday Inn Werribee, Pelligra Citinova and many project and community partners.

"Mooroop Yarkeen is a highlight of the Werribee City Centre and has become an iconic part of our streetscape and it's something that we can all be proud of."
