8   2022 – 2023 COMMUNITY PROGRAM FUNDING – COMMUNITY PROJECT GRANTS
    (ROUND TWO) – PROGRAM/PROJECTS
    In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Stewart provided the
    following declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in this matter:
    I, Cr Stewart, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter in relation
    to the funding recommendation to YouTurn Limited. I am the Patron of the not for profit, YouTurn
    Limited which works in the areas of Child Safety, Homelessness and Mental Health. Although I
    have a declarable conflict of interest, I do not believe a reasonable person could have a perception
    of bias because I have no decision-making role at YouTurn – the role of Patron is to promote and
    highlight the valuable work they do, and I do not stand to receive a personal benefit or loss in
    relation to this funding. 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.
