11.3 COMMERCIAL HIGH USE PERMITS - TENDER ASSESSMENT (CN25153)
     AND CONSEQUENTIAL POLICY AMENDMENT

     Cr Amelia Lorentson
     "In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009 I inform the meeting
     that I have a declarable conflict of interest for Item 7.3 - COMMERCIAL HIGH USE
     PERMITS - TENDER ASSESSMENT (N25153) AND CONSEQUENTIAL POLICY
     AMENDMENT on this agenda as my children have previously worked (over 12 months
     ago) for Dean Brady who is an applicant in the Upcoming Commercial High Use
     Tender Process and my children are also members of Noosa Board Riders Assoc/Club
     where they are coached by Dean Brady. As a result of my conflict of interest and in
     the interest of exercising an abundance of caution, I will now leave the meeting room
     while the matter is considered and voted on."

     Cr Lorentson left the meeting.
