            In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Stewart
            provided the following declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in
            this matter:
            I, Cr Stewart, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this
            matter as, unbeknownst to me at the time, my mother signed a petition against the
            development for the proposed Noosa Springs Hotel. Subsequently to finding this out,
            I have since removed myself from all workshops and discussion on this application.
            My parents also live in Noosa Springs. I also understand that JFP Urban Consultants
            on behalf of Altum Property Group, who are the Developers of Park Ridge Noosa
            Springs, made a submission against the Noosa Springs Hotel Development. Leigh
            McCready, who is associated with Altum, is a friend. As a result of my conflicts of
            interest, I will now leave the meeting room while the matter is considered and voted
            on.
            Cr Stewart left the meeting.
