Department of Environment and Conservation
(1) No.
(2) The practice of the department is to provide and fly flags at offices and national parks that have flag poles.
(3) The department does not have a separate budget allocation for the provision of flags. Each district and regional office has a budget for all their costs, including purchase of flags for those offices and national parks that have flag poles. Locations with flag poles are notified from a central source of arrangements for flags, such as flying flags at half mast on special occasions.
Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority
(1)  No.
(2) The State War Memorial precinct has official flag poles for the State and National flags to be raised in conjunction with State Government requirements and in consultation with the RSL. These flags are provided by the RSL.
(3) Not applicable.
Swan River Trust
(1) No.
(2) Swan River Trust is a tenant in a building where flag flying is not feasible and there are no flag poles.
(3) Not applicable.
Zoological Parks Authority
(1) The Zoological Parks Authority does not have a policy on flags. However, the National, Western Australian State and Aboriginal flags are flown daily within Perth Zoo's entry precinct.
(2) No policy is required.
(3) The Zoological Parks Authority replaces flags from within its recurrent funding as required.
