             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 declared conflict of interest in
             relation to the application OPW21/0353.02 by MC Bain which is Item 13 in the
             Delegated Authority report, due to my personal relationship with the applicant
             Mark Bain and the Bain Family who are family friends. We have attended social
             events together, and our children have attended school together. As a result of
             my conflict of interest I will now leave the meeting room while the matter is
             considered and voted on.
             Cr Lorentson left the meeting.

             Cr Stockwell informed the meeting that he had previously declared conflicts of
             interest in relation to applications made by Altum Property Group in the Planning
             Applications by Delegated Authority Reports.
             Cr Stockwell advised: During the last term I, Cr Stockwell, declared a conflict
             relating to Leigh McCready and the Altum property group relating to events in the
             lead up to the 2020 election. As this issue was prior to the relevant term, and as
             I am advised Leigh McCready no longer has an interest in the company it is not
             my intent to continue to make this declaration.

             Council Resolution
             Moved:       Cr Brian Stockwell
             Seconded: Cr Tom Wegener
             That Council note the report by the Development Assessment Manager to the
