PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES                                    6 SEPTEMBER 2022


            Committee Resolution
            Moved:             Cr Wegener
            Seconded:          N/A
            That Council note the declarable conflict of interest by Cr Stockwell and determine that it is in
            the public interest that Cr Stockwell participates and votes on this matter because Council
            believes that a reasonable person could not have a perception of bias because the ICEO review
            was an advisory service, not a statutory process, and Cr Stockwell’s queries at that time were
            in the public interest and neither he nor Ms McCready stood to personally gain or lose from that
            advice and therefore a reasonable person would trust that the final decision is made in the
            public interest.
                                                                                    Carried unanimously.
            Cr Stockwell did not vote on the above motion.


            Committee Recommendation
            Moved:             Cr Wegener
            Seconded:          Cr Stockwell
            That Council note the report by the Manager, Development Assessment to the
            Planning & Environment Committee Meeting dated 6 September 2022 regarding
            planning applications that have been decided by delegated authority.
                                                                         Carried unanimously.
