When the New Zealand Flag is flown with the flags of other nations each flag should be the same size and should fly from a separate flagpole of the same height. A house flag may fly beneath the New Zealand Flag on the same flagpole.

 

The New Zealand Flag may be displayed in a variety of ways:

 

From a Flagpole on a Rope

 

The first quarter should be placed uppermost and raised as closely as possible to the top of the mast with the flagpole tight. In a line of national and house flags, the New Zealand Flag should be flown on the left of the observer facing the flags, that is, in the position of honour. From the observers left to right, the flags should be ranged in this order: the New Zealand Flag, the flags of other nations (in alphabetical order of country), house flags. In special circumstances, the flags of Commonwealth countries may take precedence over other foreign flags; the Commonwealth flags should also be ranged in alphabetical order.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On Buildings

 

Where there are two or more flagpoles parallel to the building line, the New Zealand Flag should be the first flag on the left of an observer facing the main entrance of the building.
