Luna Park/Olympic Pool/Bradfield Park - Milsons Point, NSW, Australia - Freestanding Arches on Waymarking.com

I haven't been able to find out specifically when it was built - probably mid 1930's, along with the Luna Park, but it seems that originally it was a subtle directive to the Luna Park carpark. It had fallen into disrepair back in the 1980's, and North Sydney Council got involved to avoid a piece of Heritage History being auctioned off.
By 2004 the neon sign part of the Arch had become a safety issue, and the broad upper part between the stanchions had been removed.
[From (visit link) ] This article has pictures of the original arch, and with the upper part removed for repair.

By October 2015 it was definitely removed for repair, but it when it was replaced, it seems to have NO illumination.
There is another potential web link [ex-Google] that my Anti-virus Firewall does not allow me to open, that implies that it cost the Council $500,000 to repair the arch, and that it may have been opened in April 2016.
