There is a stereo view of this is the Australian War Memorial Collection where it is called the Commonwealth Arch. There is another stereo view in the State Library of New South Wales where it is called the Citizens' Arch for Federation Celebrations. See here: acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/item/itemDetailPaged.aspx?itemID=14831 The reverse view of the Commonwealth Arch may be seen at the University of Melbourne here: app1.lib.unimelb.edu.au/cgi-bin/mua-search?tdetails=4548;... This arch was on the corner of Park Street and Elizabeth street. As such, that means Hyde Park can be seen at the left and right sides of the frame here.

The inset paintings here are quite unusual.

Lú - This and similar arches were erected in 1901 on the streets of Sydney to celebrate the Federation of the Australian colonies into the Commonwealth of Australia. They were temporary and taken down again in the weeks and months following Federation celebrations. As such, there was plenty of scope for creativity in construction such as the painted panels you mention. Similar celebratory arches were also erected in other major Australian cities for the celebrations.
