6   LAKE DOONELLA FORESHORE MANAGEMENT PLAN
    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 Finzel, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter as on 5 March
    2020, Mr Peter Butt who is an Executive Member of the Eastern Beaches Protection Association
    donated $1666.66 to my 2020 Election Campaign where I was one of three candidates that ran as a
    group known as 'Future Noosa' (which is no longer an entity). Although I have a declarable conflict of
    interest, I do not believe a reasonable person could have a perception of bias because I believe that I
    do not have a close personal relationship with Mr Butt 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.

    In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Lorentson provided the following
    declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in this matter:
    I, Cr Lorentson, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter as my
    brother, Gabriel Cerasani, owns a property at Beaches Estate, Sunrise and is also a member of the
    executive committee of the Eastern Beaches Protection Association Inc. During my election campaign
    my brother helped me with my campaign, handed out voting cards and 2 of my election signs were
    outside his property on David Low Way. Although I have a declarable conflict of interest and I believe I
    could consider the matter impartially and in the public interest. 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 Environment Services Manager (Acting) to the Planning &
    Environment Committee Meeting dated 7 December 2021 and initiate a Foreshore
    Management Planning Process for the Lake Doonella foreshore noting: that the potential new
    initiative to produce a Foreshore Management Plan for Lake Doonella be referred to the
    2022/2023 budget process so it can be assessed against other priorities set down in relevant
    strategies and plans.
    A.    The process will replicate the process recently initiated for the Eastern Beaches
          Foreshore Management Plans; and
    B.    Dependent upon timing and resourcing, it may lead to a delay in completion of the
          Eastern Beaches Foreshore Management Plans and request for ongoing budget and
          resources for FY 2022/23
