10   OYSTER RESTORATION PROJECT - ACCEPTANCE OF DRAFT RESOURCE
     ALLOCATION AUTHORITY CONDITIONS
     Cr Jackson declared a perceived conflict of interest in this matter (as defined in section 173 of the Local
     Government Act 2009) due to her membership of the Noosa Parks Association which is one of the project
     partners. Cr Jackson believed she could consider this item impartially and in the public interest and
     therefore remained in the meeting room for the debate and decision on this matter.
     That Council note the report by the Environment Officer to the General Committee Meeting
     dated 12 December 2016, and:
     A.    Accept the Draft Resource Allocation Authority conditions proposed by the
           Department of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries on behalf of the project partners;
     B.    Authorise the development application for the project to be submitted as soon as
           possible to facilitate deployment of the oyster reef restoration units in the March to
           May oyster spat recruitment season;
     C.    Authorise the Chief Executive Officer to negotiate and enter into a formal agreement
           with relevant project partners, which will result in nil additional cost to Council
           (following payment of development application fees) associated with the project,
           following receipt of the development approval.
