• Description of the Flag

• Australia
• New South Wales
• Greater Sydney
• History of the crest - from Willoughby council's site

The flag of the City of Willoughby (in Northern Sydney), has the seal in the centre of a white field and two horizontal fairly dark green lines behind it. The seal is described here, although in the flag, the outer circle containing the words is instead a solid dark green circle.
Observed: Outside council buildings on Victoria Avenue, Chatswood

The council site mentions that the flag was first flown 12 May 1990 and explains that the flowers in the emblem are:

• WARATAH - Telopea speciosissima
• CHRISTMAS BELL - Blandfordia grandiflora
• SYDNEY RED GUM/APPLE GUM - Angophora costata
• FLANNEL FLOWER - Actinotus helianthi
• NATIVE ROSE - Boronia serrulata

I am not certain that the belt buckle is meant to be on the flag.
