RESORT DRIVE, NOOSA HEADS
In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Stockwell provided the
following declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in this matter:
I, Cr Stockwell, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter in
relation to the application by Altum Constructions. On 24 February 2020 I sought a review by
the Independent Council Election Observer (ICEO) as to the public claims of the Future Noosa
Team, of which Leigh McCready was publicly identified as a Campaign Manager. Leigh
McCready is associated with the applicant. Although I have a declarable conflict of interest, I do
not believe a reasonable person could have a perception of bias because the ICEO review was
an advisory service, not a statutory process, and my queries at that time were in the public
interest and neither I nor Ms McCready stood to personally gain or lose from that advice.
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.
In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Stewart provided the
following declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in this matter:
I, Cr Stewart, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter in
relation to the application by Altum Constructions. I have a close personal friendship with Leigh
and Rob McCready, who are associated with the applicant. As a result of my conflict of interest
I will now leave the meeting room while the matter is considered and voted on.
Cr Stewart left the meeting.
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 in
relation to the application by Altum Constructions. I have a relationship with Leigh McCready
who is associated with the applicant as Mrs McCready was involved with 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). As a result of my conflict of interest I will now leave the meeting
room while the matter is considered and voted on.
Cr Finzel left the meeting.
Due to the lack of a quorum in relation to the Conflict of Interest declarations, the Acting Chief
Executive Officer appointed Cr Wegener as Acting Chairperson of the meeting for the purpose
of considering the conflict of interest declarations.
Committee Resolution
Moved: Cr Wegener
Seconded: N/A
That Council note the declarable conflict of interest by Cr Stockwell and determine that it is in
the public interest that Cr Stockwell participates and votes on this matter because Council
Page 3 of 6
Section 4
PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES 9 NOVEMBER 2021
believes that Cr Stockwell does not stand to receive a personal benefit or loss in relation to this
matter and does not have a close personal relationship with Altum Constructions and therefore
a reasonable person would trust that the final decision is made in the public interest.
Carried unanimously.
(Cr Stockwell and did not vote on the above motion)
Cr Stockwell resumed the Chair.
Committee Recommendation
Moved: Cr Stockwell
Seconded: Cr Wegener
That Planning & Environment Committee Agenda Item 2 be referred to the General
Committee for a further report.
Carried unanimously.
