Information on the Flag

From http://www.mackay.qld.gov.au/about_council/coat_of_arms_&_logo, where there is also an image of the COA:

Mackay's Coat of Arms was received from the College of Arms, London, in April 1974.
It was designed to portray Mackay, its past, present and future, and to preserve a tie with the city's founder, Captain John Mackay.
The Armorial Bearings are framed and housed in the Board Room, located in the Sir Albert Abbott Administration Building in Gordon Street, Mackay.
The Bearings are protected by By-law, and may be used only with the express consent of Council.
The Coat of Arms is located on the front of the Sir Albert Abbott Administration Building and is also portrayed on the City Flag.
