9.          ORDINARY MEETING REPORTS


     9.1.     MCU22/0201 APPLICATION FOR MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE FOR CAR
              WASH AND FOOD & DRINK OUTLET AT 34 ELM STREET, COOROY
              (DEFERRED FROM GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING DATED 12 AUGUST
              2024 ITEM 5.1)

              The following material was presented to the meeting in relation to this item:
              Cr Stockwell - refer to Attachment 2 to the Minutes
              In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Nicola
              Wilson provided the following declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict
              of interest in this matter:
              I, Cr Nicola Wilson, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest
              in this matter as my partner, Roy Vanderberg, made a submission in favour to this
              application when it was notified for 15 business days in 2023 in accordance with
              the Planning Act 2016 and received 520 properly made submissions. Although I
              have a declarable conflict of interest, I do not believe a reasonable person could
              have a perception of bias because this is one submission of 500 and neither Roy
              nor myself have a financial interest in the outcome. 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 Frank Wilkie
              Seconded:         Cr Brian Stockwell
              That Council note the declarable conflict of interest by Cr Wilson and determine
              that Cr Wilson participates and votes on this matter because Council believes that
              a reasonable person would trust that the final decision is made in the public
              interest.
              Carried unanimously.
              Cr Wilson did not vote on the above motion.
