5    PLANNING APPLICATIONS DECIDED BY DELEGATED AUTHORITY – JULY 2022
     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 in relation to
     the application by Altum Properties No.9 P/L TTE, which is listed as item 18 in this report. I have a
     friendship with Leigh and Rob McCready, who are associated with the applicant. As a result, of my
     conflict of interest I will now leave the meeting room while the matter is considered and voted on.
     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 this matter in relation to the
     application by Altum Properties No.9 P/L TTE, which is listed as item 18 in this report. Leigh McCready
     who is associated with the applicant, was involved in a volunteer capacity for my 2020 election campaign
     with Future Noosa, which is no longer an entity. As a result of my conflict of interest I will now leave the
     meeting room while the matter is considered and voted on.
     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 in relation to
     the application by Altum Properties No.9 P/L TTE, which is listed as item 18 in this report. On 24
     February 2020 I sought a review by the Independent Council Election Observer (ICEO) as to the public
     claims of the Future Noosa Team, of which Leigh McCready was publicly identified as a Campaign
     Manager. Leigh McCready is associated with the applicant. Although I have a declarable conflict of
     interest, I do not believe a reasonable person could have a perception of bias because Council's
     consideration of this application is not to approve or reject it, it is only for noting of a decision that has
     already been made by staff. 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.
     That Council note the report by the Manager, Development Assessment to the Planning &
     Environment Committee Meeting dated 6 September 2022 regarding planning applications that
     have been decided by delegated authority.

     & Environment Committee meeting dated 6 September 2022 providing an update on the
     Polystyrene Roundtable.
