    COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL

    1      MCU21/0228 & OPW21/0364 – CHANGE REPRESENTATIONS TO A
           DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL FOR MULTIPLE DWELLING AND OFFICE, AND

           - 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.
           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.
           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.
           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

                                                                                                   Page 17 of 30
