SPECIAL MEETING MINUTES                                                                 8 OCTOBER 2021


         I have a declarable conflict of interest, I do not believe a reasonable person could have a
         perception of bias because I believe that I do not have a close personal relationship with Mr Butt
         and I believe I can consider this matter impartially and in the public interest. 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.

         Council Resolution
         Moved:              Cr Wilkie
         Seconded:           Cr Wegener
         That Council note the declarable conflict of interest by Cr Lorentson and determine that it is in the
         public interest that Cr Lorentson remain in the meeting room for this item, on the condition that
         she does not participate in the debate nor vote on issues regarding the private estate along the
         Eastern Beaches and Noosa North Shore, because Council believes that Cr Lorentson could
         provide valuable input into the discussion on such a significant Shire-wide matter, and therefore
         a reasonable person would trust that the final decision is made in the public interest.
                                                                                    Carried unanimously.
         Crs Lorentson and Finzel did not vote on the above motion.

         Moved:    Cr Wilkie

         That Council note the declarable conflict of interest by Cr Finzel and determine that it is in the
         public interest that Cr Finzel remain in the meeting room for this item, on the condition that she
         does not participate in the debate nor vote on issues regarding the private estate along the
         Eastern Beaches, because Council believes that Cr Finzel could provide valuable input into the
         discussion on such a significant Shire-wide matter, and therefore a reasonable person would trust
         that the final decision is made in the public interest.
                                                                                    Carried unanimously.
