Proportion1:2
Adopted30 July 1908; 116 years ago (1908-07-30)
DesignHorizontal triband of three colours, featuring the coat of arms of Thomas Townshend, Viscount Sydney, James Cook, and Thomas Hughes

The City of Sydney flag is made up of a horizontal triband of three colours – white, gold and blue. It was designed and adopted in 1908. The top third of the flag features three designs. The flag is displayed in Town Hall, Sydney.[1]

Description

Per the City of Sydney website:[1]

In the top left are the arms belonging to Thomas Townshend, Viscount Sydney, after whom the city was named.

The English Naval Flag in the centre acknowledges the role Arthur Phillip played in Sydney's foundation.

The red cross is overlaid with a globe and two stars, the principal features of James Cook's arms, which were granted as a posthumous honour for his service in mapping Australia.

The arms in the top right belong to the first Lord Mayor of Sydney, Thomas Hughes. It was during his term of office that the title of Mayor became Lord Mayor, and the official coat of arms for the city was granted.

The remaining field of the flag features a ship under full sail, an allusion to the prominence of Sydney as a maritime port.

Usage

Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore has described the flag as "problematic", and it is no longer used by the City of Sydney.[2][why?] As of 2024, the city is in the process of reviewing its symbols, including the flag.[2]
