5 EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST FOR COMMUNITY ACTIVATION LEVEL 1 OF PEREGIAN
BEACH SURF CLUB
Cr Wellington declared a perceived conflict of interest in this matter (as defined in section 175D of the

Saving Association Inc and current Committee member of Peregian Beach Community Association,
Barry Cotterell providing a $200 donation to his 2016 election campaign on 17/03/2016. Cr Wellington
further advised that Mr Cotterell does not appear to be a current Committee member of Ocean Life
Saving Association Inc (one of the EOI submitters) but he may have once held a position on that
committee. Further, he advised that Mr Cotterell is not a submitter on the EOI process but he is
president of the Peregian Beach Community Association which has some affiliation with Ocean Life
Saving Association Inc. Cr Wellington also advised that as far as he is aware, there is no direct or
indirect pecuniary benefit to Mr Cotterell arising from the Council decision in regard to the EOI. Cr
Wellington also advised that he has not nor has ever been a member of Ocean Life Saving Association
Inc, Peregian Beach Community Association or Surf Life Saving Queensland. Cr Wellington believed

Barry Cotterell providing a $200 donation to his 2016 election campaign on 12/02/2016. Cr Wilkie
further advised that Mr Cotterell is the president of the Peregian Beach Community Association but
that organisation did not provide any donation to his electoral campaign. He advised further that the
Peregian Beach Community Association is not an applicant in the EOI process. Cr Wilkie advised
that Ocean Life Saving Association Inc is an applicant in the current EOI process and Mr Cotterell is
not an executive member of that organisation. Further, Cr Wilkie advised that Ocean Life Saving
