1    MCU16/0079.02 FURTHER REPORT – REQUEST TO CHANGE A DEVELOPMENT
     APPROVAL FOR 5 MEMORIAL DRIVE, TEWANTIN
     Cr Pardon declared a perceived conflict of interest in this matter (as defined in section 175D of the
     Local Government Act 2009) due to his being a life member of the RSL Sub-branch. Cr Pardon left
     the meeting room for the debate and decision on this matter.
     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 applicant being a sponsor of the Noosa Lions Football Club
     of which Cr Stockwell is the Vice President. 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.
