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.

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 application by Altum Properties No.9 P/L TTE, which is listed as item 17 in this report. I have a friendship with Leigh and Rob McCready, who are associated with the applicant.  As a result, of my conflict 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 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 in relation to the application by Altum Properties No.9 P/L TTE, which is listed as item 17 in this report. Leigh McCready who is associated with the applicant, was involved in a volunteer capacity for my 2020 election campaign with Future Noosa, which is no longer an entity.  As a result of my conflict of interest I will now leave the meeting room while the matter is considered and voted on.

Cr Finzel left the meeting.

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 that I have a declarable conflict of interest in regards to Item 11 of the Delegated Authority report due to my personal relationship with the applicant Mark Bain and the Bain Family who are family friends. We have attended social events together, and our children have attended school together. As a result of my conflict of interest, I will leave the meeting room while the matter is considered and voted on.

Cr Lorentson 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 in relation to the application by Altum Properties No.9 P/L TTE, which is listed as item 17 in this report. 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. Leigh McCready is associated with the applicant. Although I have a declarable conflict of interest, I do not believe a reasonable person could have a perception of bias because Council's consideration of this application is not to approve or reject it, it is only for noting of a decision that has already been made by staff. 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.
