Kingborough Community Flags

Council endorsed the Civic Centre Flag Policy, at the 16 January 2023 Council Meeting. The policy sets out the process for flying flags on the Council’s fourth flagpole which is installed at Council’s Civic Centre in Kingston.

Community groups and members may apply to have a flag flown at the Civic Centre, in addition to the Australian Flag, the Tasmanian Flag and the Aboriginal Flag. Flags must be consistent with Council’s values and commitment to inclusiveness as outlined in our Strategic Plan and celebrate Kingborough’s diverse community and recognise important community events and dates.
