ORDINARY MEETING AGENDA                                                                17 DECEMBER 2020


4    PLANNING APPLICATIONS DECIDED BY DELEGATED AUTHORITY
     In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Stewart provided the following
     declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in this matter:
     I, Cr Stewart inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter in relation to
     No. 9 OPW18/0155.01 in the list of applications in the report. Mr Shannon Gillard, who is related to the
     applicant CBD Settlers Cove Pty Ltd, and his wife Kate, are friends of mine through our children. We
     socialise together occasionally. Although I have a declarable conflict of interest, I do not believe a
     reasonable person could have a perception of bias because I believe the nature of our relationship is
     not close and personal and Council’s consideration of this application is not to approve or reject it, it is
     only for noting the decision that has already been made by staff. Therefore, I will 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 Council note the report by the Development Assessment Manager to the Planning &
     Environment Committee Meeting dated 8 December 2020 regarding planning applications that
     have been decided by delegated authority.


5    NOOSA COUNCIL CARBON FOOTPRINT REPORT 2019/2020
     That Council note the report by the Project Officer Carbon Reduction to the Planning &
     Environment Committee Meeting dated 8 December 2020 that includes a calculation of the
     2019/20 Carbon Footprint for Noosa Council and its progress towards the target of net zero
     emissions by 2026 and that the CEO organise a workshop with Councillors to review planned
     initiatives with an aim to achieve Council’s stated target of zero net emissions by 2026.
