    In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Wegener provided the following
    declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in this matter:
    I, Cr Wegener, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter as I have a
    long standing commercial arrangement with Noosa Longboards, a surf shop located in the Hastings
    Street precinct whereby I receive income from royalties for the sale of my surfboards. The tenant in the
    application before Council is a commercial competitor of Noosa Longboards and operates in the same
    precinct as this proposed development. As a result of my conflict of interest I will now leave the meeting
    room while the matter is considered and voted on.

    Robert St, Noosaville and refuse the application for the following reasons:
    1.    The proposed development is contrary to Overall Outcomes 2(a), (h) & (j) and
          Performance Outcome PO6(d) of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code as
          (a)    a significant number of properties in the area are already being used for visitor
                 accommodation and the proposal will result in the loss of a dwelling unit for use by
                 permanent residents.
          (b)    the proposal has the potential to adversely impact on the residential amenity of the
                 area.
