It comes after the COVID-19 crisis significantly slowed the works, which were initially expected to last just three months.
This meant the tower was shrouded in scaffolding for the majority of 2020.
In October the cathedral's dean Elizabeth Dyke said the works were complete, but they were just waiting on a crane to remove the framework.
She told the Bendigo Advertiser it was amazing to see the 151-yer-old cathedral looking brand new.

It comes after the community and donors raised the $200,000 needed for works on the bell tower.
