2     REQUEST FOR QUOTATION FOR LIFEGUARD SERVICES - SURF LIFESAVING
      QUEENSLAND
In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Lorentson provided the
following declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in this matter:
I, Cr Lorentson, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter as my
daughter, Giorgia Lorentson, is employed by Surf Life Saving Queensland (SLSQ) as a casual lifeguard. It
could be viewed that I have a have a conflict of interest, however I do not believe a reasonable person
could have a perception of bias as my daughter’s employment is of a casual nature and not exclusively
bound to SLSQ. Therefore, there is no benefit or loss specific to my daughter, from the outcome of this
application. 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 Stewart
Seconded:       Cr Wilkie
That Council note the declarable conflict of interest by Cr Lorentson and determine that it is in the public
interest that Cr Lorentson participates and votes on this matter because Council believes that a
reasonable person would not have a perception of bias because Cr Lorentson nor her daughter stand to
receive a personal benefit or loss in relation to this matter, and therefore a reasonable person would trust
that the final decision is made in the public interest.
                                                                                     Carried unanimously.
Cr Lorentson did not vote on the above motion.
