    Find the following matters relevant to the assessment and sufficient reason to approve the
    application:
    1.    The proposed bar is in an area that is zoned Medium Impact Industry under the Noosa
          Plan 2020, and a range of industrial uses either established now or in the future may
          generate noise, odour, dust, waste nuisance or the like. These industrial businesses will
          not be required to include additional mitigation measures to address the potential impacts
          from these industrial uses on the bar, given they should reasonably be expected.
    2.    Conditions have been imposed to ensure the proposed bar is to operate in association
          with and ancillary to an existing industrial use on the site.




4   PLANNING APPLICATIONS DECIDED BY DELEGATED                                    AUTHORITY REPORT–
    SEPTEMBER 2022
    In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Stewart provided the following
    declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in this matter:
    I, Cr Stewart, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter in relation to
    the application CBD Settlers Cove Pty Ltd which is item 34 in this report. Mr Shannon Gillard, who is
    related to the applicant CBD Settlers Cove Pty Ltd, and his wife Kate, are friends of mine through our
    children. We have socialised together occasionally in the past. Although I have a declarable conflict of
    interest, I do not believe a reasonable person could have a perception of bias because I believe I do not
    have a close personal relationship with Mr & Mrs Gillard and Council's consideration of this application
    is not to approve or reject it, it is only for noting of a decision that has already been made by staff.
    Therefore, I will choose to remain in the meeting room. However, I will respect the decision of the
    meeting on whether I can remain and participate in the decision
    Cr Wilkie assumed the Chair for the purpose of Council considering the conflict of interest declaration
    by Mayor Stewart.
    Council Resolution
    Moved:              Cr Jurisevic
    Seconded:           Cr Finzel
    That Council note the declarable conflict of interest by Cr Stewart and determine that it is in the public
    interest that Cr Stewart participates and votes on this matter because Council believes that she does
    not have a close personal relationship with Mr Gillard and therefore a reasonable person would trust
    that the final decision is made in the public interest.
                                                                                    Carried unanimously.
    Cr Stewart did not vote on the above motion.
    Cr Stockwell did not vote on the above motion.

    Cr Stewart resumed the Chair.

    In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Stockwell provided the following
    declaration to the meeting of a prescribed conflict of interest in this matter:
    I, Cr Stockwell declare I have a prescribed conflict of interest in this matter as follows: Suncoast Building
    Approvals are identified as the applicant in number 17 for Development Application EXE22/0015. I
    contracted Suncoast Building Approvals to undertake Building Certification for my proposed residence
    in Boreen Point on the 29 November 2021. This process is currently underway. The total fees associated
    with the completion of the certification and inspection regime is $5,904 which includes Noosa Council
    Plumbing and Drainage fees. As a result of my conflict of interest I will now leave the meeting room
    while the matter is considered and voted on.
    Cr Stockwell left the meeting.
