      provided the following declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in
      this matter:

      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 exercising an abundance of caution,
      I will now leave the meeting room while the matter is considered and voted on."
