I, Cr Wilson, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter as I am a volunteer director of a CAYAC Ltd, Maroochydore, a charity that supports victims of domestic violence (amongst other services). While CAYAC is not the subject of the decision being made today to appoint a councillor to an observer role in the Network, I note that matters discussed in the Network’s meetings in future may be relevant to CAYAC’s operations. I share this information for transparency and to support my nomination for the position, having an interest and experience in this area. Although I have a declarable conflict of interest, I do not believe a reasonable person could have a perception of bias because CAYAC is not the subject of today’s decision, and I am able to remain impartial. 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 Paul. Thank you, good afternoon Councillors, Councillors. The Queensland government established the domestic and family violence prevention Council to support greater community understanding about domestic and family violence and to challenge the values, beliefs, attitudes and behaviours that trivialise, excuse and perpetuate this abuse. Working at the primary prevention level, the prevention Council partners with government, business and community stakeholders to champion local community led action and leadership in creating social change. Through enhanced education, understanding and place based responses, the prevention Council supports all Queenslanders to play their part in ending domestic and family violence. This report seeks endorsement for three members from Noosa Council as representatives on the local government domestic and family violence prevention champions network, two Council staff and one Councillor representative. We seek the nomination of that Councillor.
Frank Wilkie46:58Yes? No. No, Councillor what's the. Wilson? No. Okay. I the important point here is do residents deserve the right to be informed? And given the opportunity to be publicly notified about if a business next door to them or in their neighbourhood is going to start operating from 6am in the morning and all the impacts that will have? Sure, we'd all love to see a patisserie there, but this is about giving the residents the opportunity to have their say and appropriate conditions to be able to be imposed. If it is, to minimise the impacts. We all want to see local business prosper. I think the residents, for many neighbourhoods, it's the principle on this occasion. Ought to be applied everywhere. So for that reason, I'm supporting the staff recommendation. Richard black, those in favour? Councillor Wilson? Yes. Councillor Wilkie, Councillor Stockwell? Yes. Councillor Finzel? Against? Councillor Phillips, Councillor Lorentson? The motion's carried. Next item, thank you, Richard. Next item is levelled on the domestic and family violence prevention champions network. And to talk about that, we have Paul Brinkman. See a rundown of what we're looking at here, because we've got a number of domestic and family violence prevention channels everywhere here, and we're also getting an answer from Mr. Councillor. Yes.
