Cr Wilkie declared a real conflict of interest in this matter (as defined in section 175D of the

the President of that Association. Cr Wilkie left the meeting room for the debate and decision
on this matter.
Cr Stewart declared a perceived conflict of interest in this matter (as defined in section 175D of
the Local Government Act 2009) in relation to the application by the Sunshine Coast Sports
Aviators as one of the Club members donated $500 to her 2020 election campaign. Cr Stewart
was unsure of the level of involvement of the donor in the grant application or whether the
member was on the Executive of that Committee. Cr Stewart left the meeting room for the
debate and decision on this matter.
Cr Jurisevic declared a perceived conflict of interest in this matter (as defined in section 175D
of the Local Government Act 2009) in relation to the application by the Sunshine Coast Sports
Aviators as one of the Club members handed out election material during his 2014 and/or 2016
election campaign. Cr Jurisevic was unsure of whether the member was on the Executive of
that Committee. Cr Jurisevic left the meeting room for the debate and decision on this matter.
Cr Lorentson declared a perceived conflict of interest in this matter (as defined in section 175D

Aviators as one of the Club members collected two of her election posters during her 2020
election campaign. Cr Lorentson was unsure what the member did with those campaign
posters. Cr Lorentson believed that she could consider this item impartially and in the public
interest and requested to remain in the meeting room to participate in the debate and vote on
this matter. The Committee was unable to consider this declaration due to the remaining
Councillors already declaring conflicts of interest in this matter and leaving the meeting room.
