SPECIAL MEETING MINUTES                                                                 16 JULY 2020


        Cr Stockwell declared a perceived conflict of interest in this matter (as defined in section 175D
        of the Local Government Act 2009) due to the fact that he made a submission as Group Leader
        on behalf of Noosa Sea Scouts to the draft Noosa planning scheme in 2019, in relation to a
        parcel of land at 11 Eumundi Noosa Road, Noosaville. No changes have been recommended
        to the Draft Planning Scheme as a result of this submission. Cr Stockwell does not currently
        hold an executive position in the Noosa Sea Scouts. As Council is not reviewing the
        submissions made as part of the earlier process, nor examining individual parcels of land within
        the context of the entire planning scheme and, given that the adoption of a planning scheme is
        an item of “ordinary business” under the Local Government Act, 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.

        Council Resolution
        Moved:           Cr Jurisevic
        Seconded:        Cr Wilkie
        That Councillors note the perceived conflict of interest declaration of Cr Stewart and resolve
        that this represents a perceived conflict of interest in this matter and Cr Stewart may remain in
        the meeting room to participate in the debate and vote on this matter.
                                                                                   Carried unanimously.
        Cr Stewart, Lorentson & Stockwell did not vote on the above motion.

                                                                                   Carried unanimously.
