    REASONS TO JUSTIFY THE DECISION DESPITE THE CONFLICT WITH THE PLANNING
    SCHEME:
    Find the following matters relevant to the assessment and sufficient reason to approve the
    application:
    1.    Although there is a proposed net increase of pontoons which increases site cover within
          the lease area, the proposal:
          a.     will ensure the vessels are moored wholly within the existing lease area of the
                 marine facility; and
          b.     maintains the character of the site as a marine facility which is compatible with
                 surrounding marine activities.




2   INTEGRATED WATER QUALITY MONITORING PROGRAM
    I, Cr Stockwell, declare that I have a prescribed conflict of interest in the matter as follows: Seqwater
    was a major client of my sole trader business (t/a Watershed Australia). Between 2016 and 2020, I
    undertook: catchment planning; land capability and suitability assessments for source protection,
    recreation, grazing, infrastructure, environmental offsets and solar farms; environmental and natural
    resource evaluation, and 'Expert Witness' services in a court case, for the entity. This involved contracts
    to the value of $232,266. This work has covered the vast majority of the Seqwater estate throughout
    South East Queensland including the Seqwater Lake Macdonald estate, where the water treatment plant
    is located.
