    APPOINTMENT OF COMMUNITY AND/OR INDUSTRY REPRESENTATIVES
    In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Stockwell provided the following
    declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in this matter:
    I, Cr Stockwell declare I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter as follows : One of the
    nominees Mr Rod Ritchie assisted with my 2016 and 2020 election campaign. Mr Ritchie contributed by
    helping in Letterboxing and handing out how to vote cards. The in-kind value of his voluntary efforts may
    exceed the $500 benchmark for a declarable conflict but would not reach the $2000 benchmark for a
    Prescribed Conflict. My relationship with Mr Ritchie is civic in nature and would not trigger the definition
    of a close personal relationship under the Act. Considering the above and the fact that Mr Ritchie's
    nomination is civic in nature I believe a fair person would see my participation in the matter is in the
    public interest and chose to stay in the room. However, I will respect the decision of the meeting on
    whether I can remain and participate in the decision.

    CLOSURE OF THE MEETING TO THE PUBLIC
    Council Resolution
    Moved:         Cr Stewart
    Seconded:      Cr Wegener
    That the meeting be closed to the public in accordance with Section 254J (3) of the Local
    Government Regulation 2012 – i) a matter the local government is required to keep confidential
    under a law of, or formal arrangement with, the Commonwealth or a State.
                                                                                     Carried unanimously.

    RE-OPENING OF THE MEETING TO THE PUBLIC
    Council Resolution
    Moved:         Cr Stewart
    Seconded:      Cr Wilkie
    That the meeting be re-opened to the public.
                                                                                     Carried unanimously.
    Council Resolution
    Moved:            Cr Stewart
    Seconded:         Cr Lorentson
    That Council note the declarable conflict of interest by Cr Stockwell and determine that it is in the public
    interest that Cr Stockwell participates and votes on this matter because Council believes that Cr
    Stockwell does not stand to receive a personal benefit or loss in relation to this matter and therefore a
    reasonable person would trust that the final decision is made in the public interest.
                                                                                     Carried unanimously.
    Cr Stockwell & Cr Wilkie did not vote on this resolution.
