3    EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST FOR COMMUNITY ACTIVATION LEVEL 1 OF PEREGIAN
     BEACH SURF CLUB
     Cr Wellington declared a perceived conflict of interest in this matter (as defined in section 175D of the
     Local Government Act 2009) due to local resident and former Committee member of Ocean Life Saving
     Association Inc and current Committee member of Peregian Beach Community Association, Barry
     Cotterell providing a $200 donation to his 2016 election campaign on 17/03/2016. Cr Wellington further
     advised that Mr Cotterell does not appear to be a current Committee member of Ocean Life Saving
     Association Inc (one of the EOI submitters) but he may have once held a position on that
     committee. Further, he advised that Mr Cotterell is not a submitter on the EOI process but he is
     president of the Peregian Beach Community Association which has some affiliation with Ocean Life
     Saving Association Inc. Cr Wellington also advised that as far as he is aware, there is no direct or
     indirect pecuniary benefit to Mr Cotterell arising from the Council decision in regard to the EOI. Cr
     Wellington also advised that he has not nor has ever been a member of Ocean Life Saving Association
     Inc, Peregian Beach Community Association or Surf Life Saving Queensland. Cr Wellington believed
     that he could consider this item impartially and in the public interest and requested to remain in the
     meeting room to participate in the debate and vote on this matter.
