LOUIS BAZZO DRIVE, RINGTAIL CREEK
The following material was presented to the meeting by staff in relation to this
item:
Attachment 1 to the Planning & Environment Committee Meeting Minutes
Item 7.1 - Locality Aerial Photo
Attachment 2 to the Planning & Environment Committee Meeting Minutes
Item 7.2 - SARA Plans
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 I have engaged a submitter, Pat Rogers in a personal capacity for
legal advice on a single occasion. Although I have a declarable conflict of interest,
I do not believe a reasonable person could have a perception of bias because I do
not have a close personal relationship with the submitter. 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.
Committee Resolution
Moved: Cr Frank Wilkie
Seconded: Cr Brian Stockwell
That Council note the declarable conflict of interest by Cr Lorentson and determine
that Cr Lorentson participates and votes on this matter because Council believes
that a reasonable person would trust that the final decision is made in the public
interest.
Carried unanimously.
Cr Lorentson did not vote on the above motion.
Committee Recommendation
Moved: Cr Frank Wilkie
Seconded: Cr Brian Stockwell
That Planning & Environment Committee Agenda Item 7.1 be referred to the
