Street flag and banner design

The design and content of any proposed flag or banner must be reviewed by NPDC before approval can be granted if the application is:

From a person or organisation who has not applied for the display of flags or banners before.
For a new event.
For a new design for an existing event. (If a previously approved design is changed, the new design requires new approval from NPDC.)

Flags and banners must not contain sponsors' names or logos unless the sponsor appears as part of the event name, e.g. TSB Festival of Lights.

Flags and banners may be installed no earlier than four weeks before the event starts and will be removed no later than seven days after the event ends.

From a week prior to the Santa Parade (the first weekend in December) to approximately 7 January each year, the display tracks will be used for seasonal banners relating to the Christmas period and will not be available for other flags and banners.

Priority will also be given to displaying Council flags and banners to celebrate Matariki and Waitangi Day, and to commemorate Anzac Day.

There are 111 locations in the New Plymouth District for displaying street flags so you can promote an upcoming event or special occasion. Flag sites are positioned on street light poles in high-profile locations through the central city and alongside main routes into the city. You can choose to book all or some of the flag sites, which are grouped into different zones.

Specifications

We recommend that if you are manufacturing flags to display in the New Plymouth District, they be made to the following size: 1.75m high and 0.95m wide. If you already have the flags we can arrange a test fit of your existing flags to establish if they are suitable or not.

Flag sites are located are on both sides of the road, so if you are having flags made specifically to fit Flagtrax in New Plymouth, they can be manufactured to orientate a certain way. The most common type of flag is with the left hand side of the flag against the lamppost, showing the flag image to oncoming traffic, on the same side of the road. However if you wish to promote your event by having flags on both sides of the road facing the same direction, you can have flags manufactured that hang to the right hand side of the design.

Costs

All costs to manufacture and display flags are the responsibility of the person or organisation requesting the booking. We do not charge rental or booking fees for flag sites.

We use an approved contractor for the display and removal of all street flags, and the following charges apply (excluding GST):

Install flag - $10 per flag.
Remove flag - $10 per flag.
Install flags on the 3 sites on Devon Street East - $250.
Remove flags on the 3 sites on Devon Street East - $250.

Administration fee for bookings of:

1-11 flags, no charge.
11-40 flags, $150.
41 – 111 flags, $300 (check: fees list says charged for both install and removal)

If you book the Devon Street East zone there is an option to exclude the three flags sites which incur additional costs to install/remove. Please advise at time of booking.

You can find the flag zones in the document below.
