                   (REFERRED FROM PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE DATED 10
                   SEPTEMBER 2024 - ITEM 5.1)

                   In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Phillips
                   provided the following declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest
                   in this matter:
                   I, Cr Jessica Phillips, declare I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter
                   as my close family friend, Fran Sadlier, is on the building sub-committee and a
                   long-term member of the Tewantin Netball Courts. Although I have a declarable
                   conflict of interest, I do not believe a reasonable person could have a perception
                   of bias because the position she holds is not a decision maker, nor is she an
                   executive committee member: neither I nor my family friend stand to gain a
                   personal or material benefit from the decision over and above what other club
                   members would gain. 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.
                   Committee Resolution
                   Moved:              Cr Amelia Lorentson
                   Seconded:           Cr Nicola Wilson
                   That Council note the declarable conflict of interest by Cr Phillips and determine
                    that Cr Phillips participates and votes on this matter as Council believes that a
                    reasonable person would trust that the final decision is made in the public interest.
                   Carried unanimously.
                   Cr Phillips did not vote on the above motion.

                   Committee Recommendation
                   Moved:             Cr Jessica Phillips
