GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING REPORT 17 APRIL 2023 · Committee to Council report

ORDINARY MEETING                                                                               20 APRIL 2023


claims of the Future Noosa Team, of which Leigh McCready was publicly identified as a Campaign
Manager. Leigh McCready is a Director of Tourism Noosa. Although I have a declarable conflict of interest,
I do not believe a reasonable person could have a perception of bias because the ICEO review was an
advisory service, not a statutory process, and my queries at that time were in the public interest and neither
I nor Ms McCready stood to personally gain or lose from that advice. 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.
