Noosa Electorate state schools, youth groups and eligible community organisations can request a Queensland Flag via our office on 5319 3100 or via noosa@parliament.qld.gov.au under the Free Queensland Flag Scheme.
To read more about the scheme, please visit www.premiers.qld.gov.au/publications/categories/policies-and-codes/assets/free-queensland-flag-scheme.pdf
Residents of other state electorates can request Queensland flags from their respective State MPs. If you are unsure which electorate you live in, you can search at www.ecq.qld.gov.au/electoral-boundaries/where-is-my-electorate.
Government entities and owned buildings are not eligible under the scheme and must include any replacement flags in their ongoing maintenance of their building. The Premier answered a Question on Notice regarding this on 2 May 2019 and provided the following response (in italics):
The Free Queensland Flag Scheme was introduced in 1982 to educate our youth about the Queensland flag and inspire pride in the flying of the State flag.
In line with the Scheme, free Queensland flags are distributed, via local Members of Parliament, to Queensland state schools, youth groups and eligible community organisations. Those not eligible for free flags include commercial organisations, individuals and Queensland Government outlets which are not significantly youth focused and whose parent departments can purchase flags on their behalf.
Government owned buildings where facilities are available to fly flags appropriately, should include the cost of flags and their replacement in the ongoing maintenance of the building. When a department occupies space in a leased building, the Department should encourage the building owner to include the flags as paid of the lease agreement, as happens at 1 William Street.
