            because Council believes that a reasonable person would trust that the final
            decision is made in the public interest.
            Carried unanimously.
            Cr Wilkie did not vote on the above motion.

            In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Wilkie
            provided the following declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of
            interest in this matter:
            I, Cr Wilkie, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this
            matter in relation to the funding recommendations to NoosaCare. I would like to
            put on the record that, although it does not qualify as a declarable conflict of
            interest, I volunteer playing music at various aged care facilities in the shire,
            including at Noosa Care which is mentioned in this grant round. I am not a member
            or executive member of Noosa Care and don’t believe a reasonable person would
            see this as a conflict of interest and choose to stay in the meeting room.

            interest.
            Carried unanimously.
