7 PROPOSED LOCAL LAW AMENDMENT – SHORT STAY LETTING – REVISED
VERSION FOLLOWING PUBLIC CONSULTATION
In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Stockwell provided the
following declaration to the meeting of a prescribed conflict of interest in this matter:
I, Cr Stockwell inform the meeting that I have a prescribed conflict of interest in this matter as I
am the owner of Lot 45 Noosa Lakes Resort at 3 Hilton Terrace, Tewantin. I am also the Body
Corporate Chair. The draft Local Law for Short Stay Letting identifies the resort as one of
proposed exempt sites (as identified in Attachment 7 of the Committee Agenda). The draft Local
Law therefore has a different impact on me to the majority of short stay accommodation owners.
Some would say beneficially, others the reverse, I have a Prescribed Conflict of Interest. As a
result of my conflict of interest, I will leave the meeting room while the matter is considered and
voted on.
Committee Resolution
Moved: Cr Stewart
Seconded: Cr Wegener
That Cr Finzel be appointed as Acting Chairperson of the meeting for this item for the purpose of
considering the conflict of interest declaration by Cr Stockwell.
