Bayside Council (NSW, Australia) (original) (raw)

The Bayside Council is a new local government in NSW, proclaimed on 09.09.2016 after amalgamation of the former City of Rockdale and City of Botany Bay, although citizens of both former municipalities were against the idea.

In April 2017 was launch the contest for logo for the new municipality. In August 2017, Bayside Council selected its new logo via a public competition and vote, with Mascot resident, Ray Kurniawan's design winning. The logo depicts a sailing boat above water, with Kurniawan describing its symbolism: "The idea to use the boat came from the idea that to move forward in a boat everyone has to row together. Bayside is a new community and to move forward everyone needs to work together". The new logo is below. Although I expected to find a white flag with council logo, that's not what happen. In fact, I viewed several thousands photos, but no flag anywhere.
