1Committee ResolutionCarried
Moved: Amelia Lorentson · Seconded: Tom Wegener
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 a reasonable person could not have a perception of bias because the ICEO review was an advisory service, not a statutory process, and Cr Stockwell’s queries at that time were in the public interest and neither he nor Ms McCready stood to personally gain or lose from that advice and therefore a reasonable person would trust that the final decision is made in the public interest.
Carried unanimously.

In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Stewart provided the following declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in this matter:
I, Cr Stewart, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter in relation to the funding recommendations to
- Katie Rose Cottage as I have a personal friendship with Leigh McCready, who is employed as Head of Fundraising and Partnerships by Katie Rose Cottage;
- Noosa Water Polo Club as my children are members of the club;
- Noosa Little Athletics Inc as my children are members of this club.
As a result of my conflicts of interest I will now leave the meeting room while the matter is considered and voted on.
Cr Stewart left the meeting.
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, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter as on 24 February 2020 I sought a review by the Independent Council Election Observer (ICEO) as to the public claims of the Future Noosa Team, of which Leigh McCready was publicly identified as a Campaign Manager. The conflict involved the application of Katie Rose Cottage as Leigh McCready is the Head of Fundraising and Partnerships, Although I have a declarable conflict of interest, I do not believe a reasonable person could have a perception of bias because the ICEO review was an advisory service, not a statutory process, and my queries at that time were in the public interest and neither I nor Ms McCready stood to personally gain or lose from that advice. 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 in the decision.

Thank you, Councillor Stewart. I also know for the public record that I'm a member of the Tewantin news crew club and as a player I have registered again this year only to be a fill-in, but that doesn't raise a declarable conflict of interest, so it won't be declared. Councillors. I move to staff written redemption. Councillor Stockwell, while moving. Councillor Wegener, seconding. Is there any discussion? No discussion. All in favour? The room. Team fiverr. The team fiverr, ayes have it. Moved unanimously. Councillor Stewart is out of the room. We'll get Councillor Stewart back in the room for the next item. Is item 6.5: community program funding, community project grants, round 2. Equipment. All right, I'll that's alright. I'll just, again, I'll read out the applicant names so that Councillors can be aware of the potential conflicts. We've got Noosa water polo club, Noosa trailblazers, mountain bike club, Noosa little athletics incorporated, there's Noosa district basketball association, Tinbeerwah hall incorporated, whidwood community oil association, life flight foundation and Katie rose cottage hospice.
Joe Jurisevic85:28
Okay. Council, does anyone have any questions? Comments? Someone want to move the staff recommendation? Councillor Stockwell. Seconded, Councillor Wegener. He had his hand up slightly before you, Councillor Stockwell. Right. Any discussion? If there's been no discussion, I'll put the adder to a vote. All in favour? The ayes have it. Carried unanimously. We'll move on to item 6.3, community program funding, community project grants, round 2, events. Yes. I'll just mention the recipients this time so that we get our declarations correct. Friends of Noosa Botanic Gardens, dance on maple, Noosa. Surfing reserve and Noosa Coast open house. Does any Councillor have any conflicts with the event, with the item before us? Noosa in that event, can I have a mover? Sorry, Councillor Councillor Lorentson. Surfing reserve?
Joe Jurisevic70:00
Yes. Subtitles Subtitles motions. Subtitles I yep. Believe you can go to the procedural motions. Subtitles Okay, we'll move on with the reports to the regulatory General Committee. Item 6.1 is the community grants program, community project grants round 2 overview. A series we've got a series of community grants and community program funding opportunities, Councillor, if you'd like to give us a bit of an overview of the program. All have a good one.
Joe Jurisevic78:39
The sub reports of this. Item 6.2, community program funding. Community project grants round two, program projects. Nelson. Yes, Mr Chair. Yes, Councillor Wilkie.
Joe Jurisevic86:37
Yep, no worries. Rather shrill it up front than find there's any. On that matter, we can have a mover. Councillor Lorentson then, a seconder, Councillor Stewart. Any discussion? Put the door open. All in favour? That's working. Is carried unanimously. Item 6.4, community program funding, community project grants to infrastructure. Alison, would you like to tell us the difference with this one?
Alison Hamblin84:28
So, as you four categories under the community projects made up of program projects, infrastructure, equipment, and events. The first report is looking at the program and projects. Seven applications were received. Officers are recommending three of those applications for funding. We have put the reasons why the other four have been unsuccessful in the copy of the report.
