SOCIAL ON LAND AT 468 MCKINNON DRIVE, COOROIBAH
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. 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.

5.8. INTEGRATED WATER QUALITY MONITORING PROGRAM - BURGESS CREEK
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 due to
the fact that as President of the Noosa Lions Football Club (NLFC) I have land and water
management responsibilities for approximately 4.5 ha of the Girraween Sports Complex. This
involves the application of mainly organic, slow release and calcium-based fertilisers and herbicide
over what is a sizeable holding in terms of the catchment. The club also uses groundwater for
irrigation and has used surface water and recycled water in the past. The downstream impact of
sports fields are potential risk factors for the quality of surface waters in the catchment. Considering
the volunteer and community nature of my role with NLFC and the fact that the club is not likely to
gain or lose from the proposed monitoring program, I 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.
