6    COOROY MEMORIAL HALL - UPDATE REPORT
     Cr Pardon declared a perceived conflict of interest in this matter (as defined in section 173 of the Local
     Government Act 2009) due to his life membership of Tewantin Noosa RSL sub branch. Cr Pardon believed he
     could consider this item impartially and in the public interest and therefore remained in the meeting for debate
     and decision on this matter.

     Seconded:            Cr Stockwell
