Cr Stockwell declared a perceived conflict of interest in this matter (as defined in section 175D of the Local
Government Act 2009) due to having prepared an economic assessment of the relocation of the parent

in the State Development of Infrastructure and Planning wherein he provided justification for the establishment
of the industrial enterprise outside of the urban footprint on economic grounds. Cr Stockwell believed that he
could consider this item impartially and in the public interest and requested to remain in the meeting room to
participate in the debate and vote on this matter.
Pursuant to section 175E(4) of the Local Government Act 2009, the remaining Councillors gave consideration
to whether the conflict was a real conflict or perceived conflict and whether Cr Stockwell may participate in the
meeting for the debate and vote on this matter or whether he must leave the meeting for the debate and vote
on this matter.
