        C.    Authorise the Chief Executive Officer to make amendments to the Terms of

              with Maritime Safety Queensland following any feedback from the Noosa River

        D.    Request the CEO to report back to Council in March 2021 on the proposed
              membership of the Noosa River Stakeholder Advisory Committee and further,
              request Maritime Safety Queensland to work with Council to ensure that the first
              meeting of the committee occurs within one month of the finalisation of the
              committee membership.

        F.    Acknowledge and welcome the permanent presence of Maritime Safety
              Queensland in Noosa and resolve that, while MSQ maintains an active presence,

              mooring and living on board on the Noosa River.

                                                                                                   Carried.


    3   DRAFT COASTAL HAZARDS ADAPTATION PLAN (CHAP) FOR COMMUNITY
        CONSULTATION
        In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Lorentson provided the
        following declaration to the meeting of a prescribed conflict of interest in this matter:
        I, Cr Lorentson, inform the meeting that I have a prescribed conflict of interest in this matter as
        my brother, Gabriel Cerasani, owns a property at Beaches Estate, Sunrise Beach which is one of
        the properties identified as `at risk' under the CHAP. 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 prescribed conflict of interest in this matter:
        I, Cr Stockwell, inform the meeting that I have a prescribed conflict of interest in this matter as I
        am the owner of Lot 45 Noosa Lakes Resort at 3 Hilton Terrace, Tewantin. The draft Coastal
        Hazards Adaptation Plan identifies that, "riverine areas including Noosaville and Tewantin will be
        most affected by periodic storm tide inundation and permanent sea level rise." p.7 and further the
        property is mapped in Figure 5 which relates to the potential inundation resulting from sea levels
        rise. In particular the plan suggests, "low lying areas will be exposed to more frequent inundation
        under everyday conditions and also with storm tides" p.15. At best this means that access to the
        property will be more frequently inundated and actions and investigations are envisaged to adapt
        to this increased risk from climate change. As such I stand to benefit more from the
        recommendations in the draft plan than the majority of residents in the Shire. As a result of my
        conflict of interest, I will now leave the meeting room while the matter is considered and voted on.
