5.3.   THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GRANTS POLICY REVIEW

In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Stockwell provided the
following declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in this matter:
I, Cr Stockwell, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter due to
my long standing connection with Noosa District Landcare as one of the inaugural members of the
unincorporated group dating back to the 1980s and a current ordinary member. Noosa District
Landcare is identified as being consulted in the report. Although I have a declarable conflict of
interest, I do not believe a reasonable person could have a perception of bias considering the
community nature of this relationship. I believe I can make an impartial decision in the public interest
in this matter and l therefore 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.

That Planning & Environment Committee Agenda Item 3 be referred to the General Committee due
to the significance of the issue.

Building Approvals is identified as the applicant in number 18 for Development Application
