    6.6.    2024-2025 COMMUNITY PROGRAM FUNDING – COMMUNITY PROJECT
            GRANTS (ROUND ONE) – PROGRAM/PROJECTS


            In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Finzel
            provided the following declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of
            interest in this matter:
            I, Cr Finzel, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this
            matter in relation to the Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Club Grant application
            which is before us today. Leigh McCready has recently been elected as the
            president of this club. Mr Rob McCready sits in a decision-making capacity on
            the Peregian Beach Surf Lifesaving Club Sub-Committee. Mr McCready is
            married to Leigh McCready who worked as a volunteer on the 2020 Future
            Noosa Election Campaign which is no longer an entity. Mr & Mrs McCready are
            not related parties, nor are they close associates and therefore I do not believe
            this COI satisfies the requirements the act as I do not stand to gain a benefit or
            loss in relation to the matter that is no greater than the benefit or loss of a
            significant proportion of persons in the local government area stand to gain or
            lose. However, in the public interest and full transparency I will declare this
            interest as I believe I am able to make an impartial decision on the matter.
            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.
