5   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.

    Cr Wilkie 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 12/02/2016. Cr Wilkie further
    advised that Mr Cotterell is the president of the Peregian Beach Community Association but that
    organisation did not provide any donation to his electoral campaign. He advised further that the
    Peregian Beach Community Association is not an applicant in the EOI process. Cr Wilkie advised that
    Ocean Life Saving Association Inc is an applicant in the current EOI process and Mr Cotterell is not an
    executive member of that organisation. Further, Cr Wilkie advised that Ocean Life Saving Association
    Inc did not make a contribution to his electoral campaign and that the Peregian Beach Community
    Association is noted on the Ocean Life Saving Association website as being a member of the Ocean
    Life Saving Association Alliance. Cr Wilkie also advised that he is not a member of the Peregian Beach
    Community Association, Ocean Life Saving Association Inc or Surf Life Saving Queensland. Cr Wilkie
    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.

    Pursuant to section 175E(4) of the Local Government Act 2009, the remaining Councillors gave
    consideration to whether the conflicts were a real conflict or perceived conflicts and whether Cr
    Wellington and Cr Wilkie may participate in the meeting for the debate and vote on this matter or whether
    they must leave the meeting for the debate and vote on this matter.
