ORDINARY MEETING AGENDA                                                                          20 MAY 2021


    In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Lorentson provided the following
    declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in this matter:
    I, Cr Lorentson inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter as my children
    are both trained by Noosa Surfing Academy, who is listed as a tender applicant for one of the High Use
    Commercial Permits. Although I have a declarable conflict of interest, I do not believe a reasonable
    person could have a perception of bias because I believe I do not have a close personal relationship
    with Noosa Surfing Academy. 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.
