ORDINARY MEETING MINUTES                                                                  18 AUGUST 2022


    In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Wilkie provided the following
    declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in this matter:
    I, Cr Wilkie declare I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter as follows: One of the nominees
    Mr Barry Cotterell assisted with my 2016 and 2020 election campaign. Mr Cotterell contributed by
    handing out how to vote cards and donated $200 to my 2016 campaign. My relationship with Mr Cotterell
    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 Cotterell’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.

    Council Resolution
    Moved:              Cr Stewart
    Seconded:           Cr Lorentson
    That Council note the declarable conflict of interest by Cr Wilkie and determine that it is in the public
    interest that Cr Wilkie participates and votes on this matter because Council believes that Cr Wilkie 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.
    Crs Wilkie & Stockwell did not vote on this resolution.

    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.
