         CREEK
         (Referred from Planning & Environment Committee Meeting dated 11 July 2023
         - Item 5.8)

         In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Stockwell
         provided the following declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in
         this matter:
          I, Cr Stockwell, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this
         matter due to the fact that as President of the Noosa Lions Football Club (NLFC) I
         have land and water management responsibilities for approximately 4.5 ha of the
         Girraween Sports Complex. This involves the application of mainly organic, slow
         release and calcium-based fertilisers and herbicide over what is a sizeable holding in
         terms of the catchment. The club also uses groundwater for irrigation and has used
         surface water and recycled water in the past. The downstream impact of sports fields
         are potential risk factors for the quality of surface waters in the catchment. Considering
         the volunteer and community nature of my role with NLFC and the fact that the club
         is not likely to gain or lose from the proposed monitoring program, I choose to leave
         the meeting.
         Cr Stockwell left the meeting.

         matter as my brother Gabriel Cerasani lives approximately 3 kilometres from Burgess

         Protection Association who have made submissions regarding issues with Burgess
         Creek, including raising a petition on the matter. Considering recent advice given to
