4    NOOSA RIVER HOLIDAY PARK - FEES AND CHARGES / PROPOSED USER PAYS
     SYSTEM FOR ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION
     Cr Stockwell declared a perceived conflict of interest in this matter (as defined in section 175D of the
     Local Government Act 2009) due to his role as Group Leader of the Noosa Sea Scouts where he is
     involved in setting the fees and charges for another not for profit campground in the shire. Cr Stockwell
     believed that he 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.

     Pursuant to section 175E(4) of the Local Government Act 2009, the remaining Councillors gave
     consideration to whether the conflict was a real conflict or perceived conflict and whether Cr Stockwell
     may participate in the meeting for the debate and vote on this matter or whether he must leave the
     meeting for the debate and vote on this matter.

     Council Resolution
     Moved:             Cr Glasgow
     Seconded:          Cr Wilkie
     That Councillors note the perceived conflict of interest declaration of Cr Stockwell and resolve that this
     represents a perceived conflict of interest in this matter and Cr Stockwell may remain in the meeting
     room to participate in the debate and vote on this matter.
                                                                                       Carried unanimously.
     Cr Stockwell did not vote on the above motion.
