     In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Wilkie provided the following
     declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in this matter:
     I, Cr Wilkie, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter in relation to
     the application in Item 5 – 51901.4116.01 as the applicants, Sharon and Morrie Barnes were on my
     list of campaign volunteers for the 2020 LG Elections. 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.
     Committee Resolution
     Moved:              Cr Stockwell
     Seconded:           Cr Jurisevic
     That Cr Lorentson be appointed as Acting Chairperson of the meeting for this item for the purpose of
     considering the conflict of interest declaration by Cr Wilkie.
                                                                                        Carried unanimously.
     Cr Wilkie did not vote on the above motion

     Committee Resolution
     Moved:             Cr Stockwell
     Seconded:          Cr Wegener
     That Council note the declarable conflict of interest by Cr Wilkie and determine that it is in the public
     interest that Cr Wilkie participates and votes on this matter because Council believes that he does not
     stand to receive a personal benefit or loss in relation to this matter and do not have a close personal
     relationship with Sharon and Morrie Barnes and therefore a reasonable person would trust that the
     final decision is made in the public interest.
     For:         Crs Stewart, Stockwell, Finzel, Wegener and Lorentson
     Against:     Cr Jurisevic
                                                                                                       Carried.
     Cr Wilkie did not vote on the above motion.

     Cr Wilkie resumed the Chair.
