    5   PROPOSED LOCAL LAW AMENDMENT – SHORT STAY LETTING – REVISED
        VERSION FOLLOWING PUBLIC CONSULTATION
        In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Stockwell provided the
        following declaration to the meeting of a prescribed conflict of interest in this matter:
        I, Cr Stockwell, inform the meeting that I have a prescribed conflict of interest in this matter as
        I am the owner of Lot 45 Noosa Lakes Resort at 3 Hilton Terrace, Tewantin. I am also the Body
        Corporate Chair. The draft Local Law for Short Stay Letting identifies the resort as one of
        proposed exempt sites (as identified in Attachment 7 of the Committee Agenda). The draft
        Local Law therefore has a different impact on me to the majority of short stay accommodation
        owners. Some would say beneficially, others the reverse, I have a Prescribed Conflict of
        Interest. As a result of my conflict of interest, I will leave the meeting room while the matter is
        considered and voted on.
