COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL

1    MCU21/0054 - DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FOR A MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE –
     SHORT TERM ACCOMMODATION AT 30 KINGFISHER DRIVE, PEREGIAN BEACH                                      OCUM ENT




     In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Wilkie provided the following
     declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in this matter:
     I, Cr Wilkie, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter as on 9 January
     2020, one of the 21 objectors to this application, Susan Francis, donated $750 to my 2020 election
     campaign. Although I have a declarable conflict of interest, I do not believe a reasonable person could
     have a perception of bias because Ms Francis is only one of 21 objectors whose views on this application
     align with the staff recommendation. 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.
     In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Stockwell provided the following
     declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in this matter:
     I, Cr Stockwell, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter as on 7
     January 2020, one of the 21 objectors to this application, Susan Francis, donated $500 to my 2020
     election campaign. Although I have a declarable conflict of interest, I do not believe a reasonable person
     could have a perception of bias because Ms Francis is only one of 21 objectors whose views on this
     application align with the staff recommendation. 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.
