PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES                                    11 JULY 2023


    Springs Hotel Development. Leigh McCready is associated with Altum Property 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 in regard to Ms Leigh McCready. Although I
    have a declarable conflict of interest, I do not believe a reasonable person could have a
    perception of bias because the ICEO review was an advisory service and my queries at that
    time were in the public interest. 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 listen to the
    Deputations.

    Committee Resolution
    Moved:             Cr Tom Wegener
    Seconded:          N/A
    That Council note the declarable conflict of interest by Cr Stockwell and determine that it is
    in the public interest that Cr Stockwell participates on this matter because Council believes
    that a reasonable person could not have a perception of bias because the ICEO review was
    an 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.
                                                                           Carried unanimously.
    Cr Stockwell did not vote on the above motion.
