ORDINARY MEETING MINUTES                                                      20 JUNE 2024


            made a submission against the Noosa Springs Hotel Development. Since then,
            the matter has changed give Altum Property Group has withdrawn the
            submission. Leigh McCready, who is associated with Altum, was involved as a
            volunteer with my 2020 election campaign with Future Noosa which is no longer
            an entity. Although I have a declarable conflict of interest, I do not believe a
            reasonable person could have a perception of bias because I believe I do not have
            a close personal relationship with Leigh & Rob McCready. 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 Brian Stockwell
            Seconded:          Cr Nicola Wilson
            That Council note the declarable conflict of interest by Cr Finzel and determine
            that Cr Finzel participates and votes on this matter because Council believes that
            Cr Finzel does not have a close personal relationship with Leigh & Rob McCready
            and therefore a reasonable person would trust that the final decision is made in
            the public interest.
            Carried unanimously.
            Cr Finzel did not vote on the above motion.
