In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Wilkie provided the following
declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in this matter:
I, Cr Wilkie, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter in relation to
the funding recommendations to Cooroora Historical Society t/a Noosa Shire Museum. I state for the
record that although general membership of an organisation does not qualify as a declarable conflict
of interest, I would like to put on the record my general membership of the Cooroora Historical
Society, which is mentioned in this grant round. Although I have a declarable conflict of interest, I do
not believe a reasonable person would see this as a conflict of interest. Therefore, I 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.
