           In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Wegener
           provided the following declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in
           this matter:
           I, Cr Wegener, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this
           matter in relation to the application by Sunshine Butterflies as on 23 October 2020 I
           provided them with a donation of surfboard making equipment valued at approximately
           $1200. Although I have a declarable conflict of interest, I do not believe a reasonable
           person could have a perception of bias because I do not have any other association
           with that organisation. 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.
