6   MCU21/0151 –  APPLICATION     FOR  MATERIAL     CHANGE    OF  USE                                        –
    TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITY SITUATED AT 25 RAILWAY PDE, POMONA
    In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Finzel provided the following
    declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in this matter:
    I, Cr Wegener, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter as I have an
    NBN tower located on my property and receive income from NBN via a lease arrangement. It could be
    viewed that I have an interest in mobile phone networks and NBN towers however as the application is
    by Telstra and it does not indicate NBN or Optus infrastructure I do not believe a reasonable person
    could believe I have a perception of bias. 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.
