Okay, so we move on to section 7 and there's been one item referred from the Planning & Environment Committee that's MCU 24 0151, built an application for Material Change of Use for outdoor sport and recreation rowing club at Lake Macdonald. I need to declare a. Conflict of interest. Um, Sharon, I do you see? Do you have anything? See. Just that again. Sorry about that. It looked like it was up there. Can I just wait for my declaration to come back up? There we go. I wish to inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter due to my previous work in Lake Macdonald for Seqwater. In 2019, as part of a broader consultancy project that I completed as a sole trader, I undertook land asset classification of the land owned by Seqwater around the Lake Macdonald dam. This work was at a strategic level and assessed the parcel in question as part of the broader evaluation. The project produced land capability and suitability assessments for various land uses including recreational pursuits such as that proposed in the application. In 2020, as part of the broader consultancy project, I also undertook a further assessment evaluating suitability of the land around Lake Macdonald for a solar farm. Although I have a declarable conflict of interest, I do not believe a reasonable person could have a perception of bias because I've had no dealings with the Seqwater in a private consultancy capacity since that time, therefore I will choose to remain in the meeting room now that I respect the decision of the meeting on whether I can remain and participate in the decision.
