COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL

1     MCU21/0154 - DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FOR A MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE –
      HOME-BASED BUSINESS (SMALL SCALE MEAT PROCESSING) AT 82 PATTERSON
      DRIVE, TINBEERWAH
      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 as I was
      approached by the applicant’s adjoining neighbour, Kirsty Pocock who advised me that our sons play
      football together. Although I have a declarable conflict of interest, I do not believe a reasonable person
      could have a perception of bias as I believe that I do not have a close personal relationship with Ms
      Pocock and I believe I can consider this matter impartially and in the public interest. I also declare that
      I similarly received a submission from Laura Prater who also lives in the area. I have met Ms Prater on
      a number of occasions and our children go to day-care together. Although I have a declarable conflict
      of interest, I do not believe a reasonable person could have a perception of bias as I believe that I do
      not have a close personal relationship with Ms Prater and I believe I can consider this matter impartially
      and in the public interest. 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 Planner to the Planning & Environment
      Committee Meeting dated 7 December 2021 regarding Application No. MCU21/0154 for a
      Development Permit for Material Change of Use - Home-based business (Small Scale Meat
      Processing) situated at 82 Patterson Dr Tinbeerwah and request staff to prepare a further
      report for the Ordinary Meeting dated 16 December 2021 with a draft motion for refusal of the
      application.
