Read complete item-specific minutes
I, Cr Wilkie, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter as in early 2020, I received an electoral donation of $750 from Peregian resident Susan Francis. Susan Francis is the partner of Peregian resident Barry Cotterell. Mr Cotterell is the president of the Peregian Beach Community Association (PBCA). The PBCA 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 that links to groups who have made submission to it ought to be declared. Although I nor the PBCA, which is a volunteer community group, stand to gain personally or materially through noting this report, I make this declaration out of "an abundance of caution" and commitment to transparency. I believe I can make an impartial decision in the public interest in this matter and l therefore choose to remain in the meeting room. However, I will respect the decision of the meeting on whether I can remain and participate in the decision.
The CEO assumed the Chair to deal with the Conflict of Interest declaration by Cr Wilkie.
Committee Resolution
Moved: Cr Joe Jurisevic
Seconded: Cr Tom Wegener
Against: Cr Stewart
I, Cr Lorentson, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter because my brother Gabriel Cerasani, who until recently, was on the Executive of the Eastern Beaches Protection Association has made submissions to the Eastern Beaches Foreshore Management Plan and owns a property at Beaches Estate, Sunrise Beach. Although I have a declarable conflict of interest on the basis of exercising an abundance of caution I choose to leave the meeting room.
