             In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Lorentson
             provided the following declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of
             interest in this matter:
             I, Cr Lorentson, inform the meeting I have a declarable conflict of interest in this
             matter. My husband and I own a property at Noosa Parade, Noosa Heads. Since
             November 2020 this property has been used for Short Term accommodation
             rental. Although I have a declarable conflict of interest, I do not believe a
             reasonable person could have a perception of bias as I have no personal
             relationship with the applicant, and although I have a STA property, I will not be
             positively or negatively impacted by the decision. 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.
             Council Resolution
             Moved:        Cr Joe Jurisevic
             Seconded: Cr Clare Stewart
             That Council note the declarable conflict of interest by Cr Lorentson and
             determine that Cr Lorentson participates and votes on this matter because
             Council believes that there is no personal relationship with the applicant and Cr
             Lorentson will not be positively or negatively impacted by the decision so a
             reasonable person would trust that the final decision is made in the public interest.
             Carried unanimously.
             Cr Lorentson did not vote on the above motion.
