4   PLANNING APPLICATIONS DECIDED BY DELEGATED AUTHORITY FOR SEPTEMBER
    2020
    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 Belmondos Pty Ltd. I have a relationship with one of the owners of that company,
    Jaxon Taylor as Jaxon and his wife live in my neighbourhood and our families have on occasion
    socialised together. However I do not consider them to be close personal friends. Although I have a
    declarable conflict of interest, I do not believe a reasonable person could have a perception of bias
    because I do not consider that I have a close personal relationship with Mr Taylor and the decision that
    Council is being asked to make in regard to this application is not to approve or reject it, it is to only note
    the decision that has already been made by Council 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.
    In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Wegener provided the following
    declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in this matter:
    I, Cr Wegener inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter in relation to
    the application by Sunshine Butterflies as on 23 October 2020 I provided them with a donation of
    surfboard making equipment valued at approximately $1200. Although I have a declarable conflict of
    interest, I do not believe a reasonable person could have a perception of bias because I do not have
    any other association with that organisation and the decision that Council is being asked to make in
    regard to this application is not to approve or reject it, it is to only note the decision that has already
    been made by Council 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 Manger Development Assessment to the Planning &
    Environment Committee Meeting dated 10 November 2020 regarding planning applications
    decided by delegated authority for September 2020.
