I think there is. I just haven't had time. Neither have I, but I'm sure it doesn't look boring. Well, good morning, everybody, and welcome to the Ordinary Meeting of Thursday, 21st of May, 2026. Declare the meeting open at 10:01am. Acknowledge that we are meeting on the traditional lands and waters of the Kabi Kabi people, and I pay my respects to elders past, present, and emerging, and reiterate their recognition of each and every one of us as joint custodians, respecting and caring for this beautiful place that we all love, respecting and caring for each other. We have an apology from Councillor Brian Stockwell. All other councils are in attendance, noting that Councillor Wilson is attending via Microsoft Teams. Just checking, Councillor Wilson, can you hear us okay? I can, thank you. And we can hear you. Thank you. 4 is confirmation of the Minutes. May I have a mover and a seconder for the Minutes of the Ordinary Meeting held on 16th of April? Second. Councillor Lorentson, seconded by Councillor Wegener. All in favour? Carried. Unanimously. Councillor Wilson? Second. Thank you. We have no petitions. There are no presentations. We have no deputations. We have no submissions to public question time. There are no Mayoral minutes. We have no notified motions. That brings us to consideration of committee recommendations. Eleven point one was the child safeguarding policy. Eleven point two, one school street Pomona proposed transfer of tenure. Eleven point three, commercial high use permits, tender assessment, and consequential policy amendment. Councillor Lorentson, I believe you have a conflict of interest. Would you like to declare?

I do. Thank you. In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, I inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest for item 7.3, commercial high use permits, tender assessment CN25153 and consequential policy amendment on this agenda, as my children have previously worked over 12 months ago for Dean Brady who was an applicant in the upcoming commercial high use tender process. And my children are also members of Noosa Boardriders association and club where they are coached by Dean Brady as a result of my conflict of interest and in the interest of exercising abundance of caution. I will now leave the meeting room. While the matter is considered and voted on. That was the actual voting from the General Committee, thank
