2     2020-21 COMMUNITY GRANT PROGRAM FUNDING - COMMUNITY PROJECT GRANT
      – EQUIPMENT
      In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Wilkie provided the following
      declaration to the meeting of a prescribed conflict of interest in this matter:
      I, Cr Wilkie, inform the meeting that I have a prescribed conflict of interest in this matter in relation to
      the application by Noosa Arts Theatre Inc as I am the President of that Association. As a result of my
      conflict of interest, I will now leave the meeting room while the matter is considered and voted on.

      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 the Sunshine Coast Sports Aviators as one of the Club members, David Cookman,
      donated $500 on 17 March 2020 to my 2020 election campaign and also put up corflutes for me during
      this campaign. Mr Cookman, is not the applicant for the grant nor is the grant being issued to him. As
      such, there does not appear to be any personal benefit accruing to Mr Cookman as a result of the
      grant to the community organisation. He is simply a member of a community organisation that is
      receiving a grant from Council. Mr Cookman is not a current committee member, although he has
      been a committee member in the past. I understand that he is a life member of the community group.

                                                                                                   Page 9 of 27
