APPROVAL FOR MULTIPLE DWELLING AND OFFICE, AND ROADWORK, DRAINAGE
WORK, LANDSCAPING, STORMWATER, EARTHWORKS - 245 DAVID LOW WAY
PEREGIAN BEACH QLD 4573
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 Altum Properties Group. I have a friendship with Leigh and Rob McCready, who are
associated with the applicant. As a result, of my conflict of interest I will now leave the meeting room
while the matter is considered and voted on.
Cr Stewart left the meeting.
In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Finzel provided the following
declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in this matter:
I, Cr Finzel, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter in relation to
the application by Altum Properties Group. I have known Leigh McCready, who is associated with the
applicant, in a volunteer capacity and who was involved with my 2020 election campaign with Future
Noosa, which is no longer an entity. As a result of my conflict of interest I will now leave the meeting
room while the matter is considered and voted on.
Cr Finzel left the meeting.
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. 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.
Committee Resolution
Moved: Cr Jurisevic
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 did not vote on the above motion.
Committee Recommendation
Moved: Cr Jurisevic
Seconded: Cr Wegener
That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the Planning & Environment
Committee Meeting dated 12 July 2022, regarding representations made in relation to
Application No. MCU21/0228 & OPW21/0364 for a Development Permit for a Material
Change of Use - Multiple dwelling, Office, and Operational Works (Roadwork, Drainage
Work, Landscaping, Stormwater, Earthworks), situated at 245 David Low Way Peregian
