“It’s also great to see it installed in plenty of time for the Bendigo Pride Festival who approached the City in February 2021 with the idea of painting a Pride Flag in a high-profile location to coincide with the festival. “The new artwork adds to Bendigo’s vibrant street art scene and will become a great selfie spot where people can take images and share them across social media. “It also demonstrates that Greater Bendigo is an inclusive and welcoming city and I’m delighted to see it take pride of place in front of the Bendigo Town Hall. “The installation of the Pride Flag artwork is an important acknowledgement of and support for the LGBTQIA+ community,” Cr Metcalf said.
