    (ROUND ONE) - EVENTS
    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 funding recommendation to Noosa Rugby Union Club Inc. My husband is a member and sponsor
    and my son plays for this club. Although I have a declarable conflict of interest, I do not believe a
    reasonable person could have a perception of bias because I believe I do not stand to receive a personal
    benefit or loss in relation to this funding. 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 Resolution
    Moved:             Cr Stockwell
    Seconded:          Cr Finzel
    That Council note the declarable conflict of interest by Cr Stewart and determine that it is in the public
    interest that Cr Stewart participates and votes on this matter because Council believes that a reasonable
    person would not have a perception of bias because Cr Stewart does not stand to receive a personal
    benefit or loss in relation to this funding, and therefore a reasonable person would trust that the final
    decision is made in the public interest.
                                                                                      Carried unanimously.
    Cr Stewart did not vote on the above motion.
