Cr Stockwell informed the meeting that he had previously declared conflicts of interest in relation to applications made by Altum Property Group in the Planning Applications by Delegated Authority Reports. Cr Stockwell advised: “During the last term I, Cr Stockwell, declared a conflict relating to Leigh McCready and the Altum property group relating to events in the lead up to the 2020 election. As this issue was prior to the relevant term, and as I am advised Leigh McCready no longer has an interest in the company it is not my intent to continue to make this declaration.”

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 applications MCU21/0228.01 & OPW21/0364.014 (Combined with MCU21/0228.01) by Altum Property Group which are Items 7 & 22 in the Delegated Authority report. Leigh McCready who is associated with the applicant to the best of my knowledge, 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 declared conflict of interest in relation to the application OPW21/0353.02 by MC Bain which is Item 13 in 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 now leave the meeting room while the matter is considered and voted on. 
Cr Lorentson left the meeting.

Very good. Thank you. Okay, all those in favour? That's you. Unanimous. We now move on to item 6-3, which is planning applications decided by delegated authority for January, February, March and April 2024. Before we start that, I have an undeclaration to do. So, Councillors, I'll start and you've got to get the point of order. And also to her relationship with Altum Property Group. I wish to advise that the declared conference relating to Leigh McCready and Altum Property Group relating to events in the lead up to the 2020 election as this was prior to the relevant term as I advise, Leigh McCready no longer has an interest in the company and is not quite intent to continue to make this declaration. Councillors, you'll be aware that the department suggested that was a wise thing to do if you were going to cease to declare as to make a public announcement. That's the reason why we will not declare the meeting. Do we have any other declarations or advices? Yes, speak I have little one.

Thank you. Councillors. What you have before you is a report detailing the applications that have been decided by delegated authority for the period of January to April of this year. This is a bit different to the reports that would normally come before Council because it has four months worth of information in it. Normally it's just one month of reporting that is provided to Council and obviously that was due to the caretaker period where we're playing catch up. Terms of the reports, so the format of the report for the Councillors that are new, you'll see that there's a table at the beginning of each month that details the types of applications that have been decided. The number of applications that were either approved or refused and then there's also a line item regarding the number of applications that were determined by Council as well. So the purpose of the report is to provide clarity on the number applications that are decided. Historically in sort of the public eye were those applications that came before Council and this was to give the fuller picture to show the full range of decisions that would be made at officer level under delegation.
