Subject: Official Information Act request - Is There Crown Copyright in
the Southern Cross?

 

Dear Department of Internal Affairs,

 

I would like to know if there is Crown copyright in the Southern Cross
featured in the New Zealand Flag.

 

If so, is it freely available for New Zealanders to use as a design
element on a submission to the Flag Submission Panel for the upcoming flag
referendum?

 

Thank you.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Brian Mendham

Dear Brian,

 

Thank you for your email of 6 May regarding Crown copyright in the
Southern Cross featured in the New Zealand Flag.

 

There is no Crown copyright in the Southern Cross as depicted in the
current New Zealand flag. People suggesting alternative flag designs to
the Flag Consideration Panel are free to use this as a design element.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

NZ Flag Consideration Project Secretariat Team
