    2     PETITION: REQUEST FOR COUNCIL RESTORE KITESURFING TO NOOSA’S OPEN

          In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Jurisevic provided the
          following declaration to the meeting of a prescribed conflict of interest in this matter:
          I, Cr Jurisevic, inform the meeting that I have a prescribed conflict of interest in the matter as I
          would be considered as having a close friendship with the lead petitioner. The nature of the
          friendship stems from Fiona Tarr being Treasurer of the Sunshine Beach State High School P&C
          during my term as P&C President. My wife and I attended social gatherings together at each
          other’s houses over the years as our children were close friends and attended the high school
          growing up. I have no material interest in the matter. As a result of my conflict of interest I will
          leave the meeting room while the matter is considered and voted on.
          Refer to Attachment 2
          Council Resolution
          Moved:              Cr Wilkie
          Seconded:           Cr Stewart

          Council restore kitesurfing to Noosa’s open beaches by reclassifying kitesurfing as a surf
          craft such as a surf board or stand up paddle board as per AMSA classification, be
          received and referred to the Chief Executive Officer to determine appropriate action.
                                                                           Carried unanimously.
