UPDATE ON OPERATIONS
In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Finzel
provided the following declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest
in this matter:
I, Cr Finzel, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in relation
to the Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Club Community Grant Application, as
Leigh McCready, who worked as a volunteer in my 2020 “Future Noosa” election
campaign is the current President of the Peregian Beach Surf Lifesaving Club. As
Mrs McCready is not a close associate or related party and has never given me a
gift or a loan, I believe a reasonable person would agree that I able to make an
impartial decision on the matter. 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 Recommendation
Moved: Cr Jessica Phillips
Seconded: Cr Nicola Wilson
That Council note the declarable conflict of interest by Cr Finzel and determine
that Cr Finzel 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.

1. It will allow all interested parties to express their interest in utilising
the Land.
2. It enables Council to consider proposals that may be submitted by
respondents with a demonstrated plan and capability to achieve
Council’s desired outcomes for the Land before progressing to a
select tender phase from a shortlist of EOI respondents.

preparing a full tender submission, as only those shortlisted from
EOI will be invited to do so.
4. It maximises Council’s resources in the tender process by
reducing the number of full tender submissions needing
evaluations.
C. Request that the CEO report to a future Council meeting detailing the
outcomes of the EOI, including the recommendation of a shortlist from
