Notification of Interest

In accordance with s150EQ(3)(c) of the Local Government Act 2009 Councillor J O’Pray gave notice of a Declarable Conflict of Interest in relation to Agenda Item 8.9 Caloundra Aerodrome Master Plan.

I, Councillor O’Pray, notify that I may have a Declarable Conflict of Interest in Item 8.9 Caloundra Aerodrome Master Plan to be considered at the Ordinary Meeting on 17 November 2022 on the basis that I have a long-standing association with Surf Lifesaving and Surf Lifesaving Sunshine Coast, Surf Lifesaving Queensland, Surf Lifesaving Australia and Surf Lifesaving clubs across the Sunshine Coast, which is a relationship which may ordinarily constitute a Declarable Conflict of Interest as one of the lessees is Westpac Helicopter which is under the lease of Surf Lifesaving Queensland. In consideration of my Declarable Conflict of Interest I am of the opinion that I can participate in the discussion, and vote on the matter. In doing so my participation will not lead to a decision that is contrary to the public interest. Further, I acknowledge the eligible Councillors must by resolution decide on my participation or otherwise in making a decision on this matter.  

In accordance with s150ES(3)(b) of the Local Government Act 2009 the eligible Councillors were required to decide whether Councillor J O’Pray may participate in a decision in relation to agenda item 8.9, including by voting on the matter.

In accordance with s150ES(3)(b)(i) of the Local Government Act 2009, that despite Councillor J O’Pray’s conflict of interest, Councillor J O’Pray may participate in the discussions and decision relating to Agenda Item 8.9 due to the interest not being considered to be sufficient to undermine the ability of the Councillor to form an impartial view and exercise their vote in the public interest.

Carried unanimously.
