            room. However, I will respect the decision of the meeting on whether I can remain
            and participate in the decision.
            Committee Resolution
            Moved:        Cr Joe Jurisevic
            Seconded: Cr Tom Wegener
            That Council note the declarable conflict of interest by Cr Stockwell and determine
            that Cr Stockwell participates and votes on this matter because Council believes
            that a reasonable person would not consider this a conflict of interest and trust
            that the final decision is made in the public interest.
            Carried unanimously.
            Cr Stockwell, Wilkie and Finzel did not vote on the above motion.

            In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Finzel
            provided the following declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest
            in this matter.
            I, Cr Finzel, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this
            matter as during my 2020 Future Noosa Election Campaign I received an electoral
            donation of $1666.66 from Mr Peter Butt who sits on the Executive Committee of
            Eastern Beaches Protection Association (EBPA). The EBPA has provided
            feedback on the Eastern Beaches Foreshore Reserves Management Plan. The
            Office of the Independent Assessor and legal advice has indicated the Eastern
            Beaches Foreshore Reserves Management Plan is not Ordinary Council business
            because it relates to a specific geographical area and given links to groups who
            have made submission to it ought to be declared. I will now leave the meeting
            room while the matter is discussed and voted on.
            Cr Finzel left the meeting.

            Council Resolution
            Moved:       Cr Frank Wilkie
            Seconded: Cr Joe Jurisevic
            That Council note the report by the Environment Officer – Coastal Management
            to the Planning & Environment Committee meeting dated 8 August 2023
            regarding the Eastern Beaches Foreshore Reserves Management Plan and
            community consultation and:
            A.    Note the community input received during the public consultation period for
            the draft Eastern Beaches Foreshore Management Plan and Council's proposed
            response;
            B.     Approve the revised Eastern Beaches Foreshore Reserves Management
            Plan for implementation - provided at Attachment 1; and
            C.       Authorise the Chief Executive Officer to make minor changes or
            amendments to the document prior to publishing on Council's website, including
            reinstating the words "taking a zero tolerance" in Action Item 16.1 so that it
            reads: "taking a zero tolerance and timely enforcement approach to any new
            encroachments."
            D.    That Council demonstrate its commitment to dune protection by erecting a
            large sign in the cleared area in front of 70 Lorikeet Drive Peregian Beach and
            further erect wind erosion protection fencing for the full frontage.
                                                                          Carried unanimously.
