    Cr Stockwell declared a perceived conflict of interest in this matter (as defined in section 175D of the
    Local Government Act 2009) due to the fact that as a Sole Trader in his business Watershed Australia,
    he has both been contracted by, and have subcontracted officers of, Noosa and District Landcare
    prior to becoming a Councillor. He is also an ordinary member of the group with long standing
    association as one of the founding members. Cr Stockwell believed that he could consider this item
    impartially and in the public interest and requested to remain in the meeting room to participate in the
    debate and vote on this matter.

    Pursuant to section 175E(4) of the Local Government Act 2009, the remaining Councillors gave
    consideration to whether the conflict was a real conflict or perceived conflict and whether Cr Stockwell
    may participate in the meeting for the debate and vote on this matter or whether he must leave the
    meeting for the debate and vote on this matter.

    Moved:              Cr Wellington
    Seconded:           Cr Glasgow

    represents a perceived conflict of interest in this matter and Cr Stockwell may remain in the meeting
    room to participate in the debate and vote on this matter.
                                                                                                    Carried.
