5   ENVIRONMENT PROJECT GRANTS
    Cr Stockwell declared a perceived conflict of interest in this matter (as defined in section 175D of the
    Local Government Act 2009) related to the application by Hinterland Bush Links Inc. (in partnership with
    Noosa and District Landcare), due to the fact as a Sole Trader in his business Watershed Australia, he
    has both been contracted by, and have subcontracted officers of, Noosa and District Landcare prior to
    becoming a Councillor. He is also an ordinary member of the group with long standing association as a
    Council representative that assisted in its foundation in 1989. Cr Stockwell 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 conflict was a real conflict or perceived conflict and whether Cr Stockwell
    may participate in the meeting for the debate and vote on this matter or whether he must leave the
    meeting for the debate and vote on this matter.
