ORDINARY MEETING AGENDA                                                               18 NOVEMBER 2021


    impartially and in the public interest. 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. I also inform the
    meeting that I have a further declarable conflict of interest in this matter as I have a close personal
    relationship with Mark Bain and the Bain family, owner of 1 Noosa River Road which is an at risk property
    under the draft CHAP, they are family friends that have attended social events together and whose
    children both attended school together and surfed together as part of the Noosa Board Riders Club.
    During the election I had an election sign at Gympie Tce Petrol Station with the approval of the business
    owner and Mark Bain was the landlord of the property. Mr Bain also appeared in one of my videos
    circulated during the election campaign. I believe I can consider this matter impartially and 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 participate in the decision without voting regarding the Eastern
    Beaches and Noosa North Shore.

    In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Finzel provided the following
    declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in this matter:
    I, Cr Finzel, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter as on 5 March
    2020, Mr Peter Butt who is an Executive Member of the Eastern Beaches Protection
    Association donated $1666.66 to my 2020 Election Campaign where I was one of three candidates that
    ran as a group known as 'Future Noosa' (which is no longer an entity). Although I have a declarable
    conflict of interest, I do not believe a reasonable person could have a perception of bias because I
    believe that I do not have a close personal relationship with Mr Butt and I believe I can consider this
    matter impartially and 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 participate in the
    decision.

    That Council note the report by the Principal Strategic Planner to the General Committee
    Meeting dated 15 November 2021 and
    A.    Note the submissions received during the second round of community consultation on
          the draft Coastal Hazards Adaptation Plan; and
    B.    Amend the description of Figures 4 and 8 of the CHAP (as shown in Attachment 2 tracked
          changes copy) to correctly reference the ‘design event’ rather than simply the 100
          Average Recurrence Interval and amend the related footnote that appears on pages 22
          and 39 to describe the various components of the design event upon which the erosion
          and stormtide mapping were prepared.
    C.    Approve the revised Coastal Hazards Adaptation Plan and forward to the State
          Government for final endorsement with the following change:
          1.     The 2nd last paragraph on page 83 in Attachment 2 - tracked changes copy, be
                 amended to read:
                 “Adapting to coastal hazards is a shared responsibility for all stakeholders within
                 the Noosa community. Success requires the community, Council, and other key
                 agencies to work together to respond to, and overcome, the current challenges
                 posed by rising sea levels to reduce their impact into the future.”
