The large price was driven by the complex works required to install a new, six-storey flagpole at the top of the heritage-listed bridge. The $25 million price tag for the bridge project attracted immediate criticism, with Perrottet lobbied widely to instead replace the NSW flag with the Aboriginal flag. The NSW government has abandoned plans to install a third flagpole on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, with the Aboriginal flag to instead permanently replace the NSW colours atop the iconic landmark.

The Aboriginal flag — which has flown on Sydney Harbour Bridge as part of NAIDOC Week — will remain where it is, replacing the New South Wales flag.

The Aboriginal flag — which has been flown on Sydney Harbour Bridge as part of NAIDOC Week celebrations — will permanently replace the New South Wales flag.

The $25 million cost of the additional flagpole installation was revealed by Mr Perrottet last month. The NSW flag will be relocated to the redeveloped precinct on Macquarie Street in the CBD. Instead the Aboriginal flag will permanently replace the NSW flag on the iconic structure.

The $25 million price tag for the third flag pole's construction has been overturned for good.

This decision overturns the NSW Government’s declaration last month that they would build a third flagpole for the Aboriginal flag on top of the Bridge, which was estimated to cost a hefty $25 million, with premier Perrottet saying that this mammoth sum will instead be reallocated to Closing the Gap initiatives across the state.
