6.1. PLANNING APPLICATIONS DECIDED BY DELEGATED AUTHORITY JULY 2023
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 as on 5
March 2020, Mr Peter Butt who is an applicant listed in the delegated report (applicant no.1) donated
$1666.66 to my 2020 Election Campaign where I was one of three candidates that ran as a group
known as 'Future Noosa' (which is no longer an entity). Although I have a declarable conflict of
interest, I do not believe a reasonable person could have a perception of bias because the decision
has already been made under delegated authority and the report is for noting only. 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.

That Council note the report by the Manager, Development Assessment to the Planning &
Environment Committee Meeting dated 12 September 2023 regarding planning applications that
have been decided by delegated authority.



Committee Recommendation
That the report of the Planning & Environment Committee dated 12 September 2023 be received
and the recommendations therein be adopted except where dealt with by separate resolution.
