Now I'll explain the design. I like the Papua-New Guinea flags for some typical characteristics (so I decided to keep it): diagonal divisions, colorfulness, presence of local fauna and flora. Also, I tried to create a flag that didn't resemble Western Highlands flag.
In first division, you can see a bird-of-paradise, the symbol bird of the country. The blue color is reference to regional climate, relatively cold to the tropics (sometimes, it snows). The second division is red, with white fimbriation. The color is reference to biggest economic activities in new province: coffee farming, followed by tea cultivation. The last divisions has three stars, representing the three districts (Jimi, North Waghi, Anglicamp-South Waghi) in a green background, symbolizing the color of Mount Wilhelm, biggest mountain in the islands.
I searched a lot, but couldn't find a lot of information about the new province. So, this flag is a bit generic, I have to admit.
