About the flag

"Quilicura" means "three stones" in Mapuche (a.k.a. Araucanian) language. Although the original content (reported by Osmar Valdebenito, 06 Nov 2004) is now unavailable the image is still there, and I managed to retrieve the original text:

La bandera de la comuna también nos remonta al pasado, a través del significado de sus franjas: La superior es azul, que representa el cielo puro y limpio de Quilicura. La central es amarilla, que representa las plantaciones y el hermoso sol de nuestra comuna. La inferior es el color verde que representa los campos y viñas de la antigua Quilicura.
There is a much better image at the official communal website.

A communal law 7/77 of 1997.07.11, about signs in the public areas, prescribes in its Cap. IV, Art. 6 - j) that «No podrán usarse para avisos o reclames las banderas ni los escudos nacionales o extranjeros, ni la bandera o el escudo de la Comuna de Quilicura.»
