7    DISCOVERY GROUP REQUEST FOR A NEW PUBLIC/COMMERCIAL JETTY AT
     ELANDA POINT EDUCATION AND ADVENTURE PARK
     Cr Pardon declared a perceived conflict of interest in this matter (as defined in section 173 of the Local
     Government Act 2009) as he had made initial inquiries about purchasing the site adjoining the
     proposed jetty but did not proceed any further with that approach. Cr Pardon advised that he has no
     current or future personal interests in the site. Cr Pardon believed he could consider this item
     impartially and in the public interest and therefore remained in the meeting room for the debate and
     decision on this matter.

     16 January 2017 and refuse the Discovery Group’s request for Council to be the applicant
