COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL

1    MCU20/0128 – DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FOR MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE FOR A
     RESIDENTIAL CARE FACILITY AT 32 VIEWLAND DRIVE, NOOSA HEADS
     In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Stewart provided the following
     declaration to the meeting of a prescribed conflict of interest in this matter:
     I, Cr Stewart, inform the meeting that I have a prescribed conflict of interest in this matter as the
     applicant, Deluca Charitable Foundation Limited is building this facility for the benefit of Youngcare and
     I am a Board Director of Youngcare. As a result of my conflict of interest, I will now leave the meeting
     room while the matter is considered and voted on.
     That Planning & Environment Committee Agenda Item 1 be referred to the General Committee
     for further consideration.

2    PLANNING APPLICATIONS DECIDED BY DELEGATED AUTHORITY – FEBRUARY 2021
     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
     the application CBD Settlers Cove Pty Ltd by which is item 24 in this 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 I do not have a close
     personal relationship with Mr & Mrs Gillard and Council's consideration of this application is not to
     approve or reject it, it is only for noting of a 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 6 April 2021 regarding planning applications that have
     been decided by delegated authority.


Committee Recommendation
That the report of the Planning & Environment Committee dated 6 April 2021 be received and the
recommendations therein be adopted except where dealt with by separate resolution.
