    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 Group listed as Item 2. 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. 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.
    The CEO appointed Cr Wegener as Chair for the purpose of considering Cr Stockwell’s conflict of
    interest declaration.
    Committee Resolution
    Moved:             Cr Wilkie
    Seconded:          Cr Wegener
    That Council note the declarable conflict of interest by Cr Stockwell and determine that it is in the
    public interest that Cr Stockwell participates and votes on this matter because Council believes that a
    reasonable person could not have a perception of bias because the ICEO review was advisory service,
    not a statutory process, and Cr Stockwell’s queries at that time were in the public interest and neither
    he nor Ms McCready stood to personally gain or lose from that advice and therefore a reasonable
    person would trust that the final decision is made in the public interest.
                                                                                   Carried unanimously.
    Cr Stockwell resumed the Chair.
    Committee Recommendation
    Moved:              Cr Wilkie
    Seconded:           Cr Stockwell
    That Planning & Environment Committee Agenda Item 2 be referred to the General
    Committee for further consideration.
                                                             Carried unanimously.

                                                                                                Page 5 of 12
