In accordance with s150EL(3)(b) of the Local Government Act 2009 Councillor M Jamieson gave notice of a Prescribed Conflict of Interest in relation to Agenda Item 11.1 Confidential – Not for Public Release – Land Acquisitions and Disposal (Lease) of Land – Marcoola. I, Mayor Mark Jamieson, notify that I have a Prescribed Conflict of Interest in Agenda Item 11.1 to be considered at the Ordinary Meeting on 23 March 2023. As I notified Council at the Special Meeting of 9 November 2020 and as you are aware, as President of the Local Government Association of Queensland, I am an Employer representative Director of LGIASuper which is the trustee which manages Brighter Super. Brighter Super holds a 50% interest in the Sunshine Coast Airport through its asset manager, Palisade Investment Partners. The President of the LGAQ has historically been nominated as a Trustee Director of LGIASuper. I have held that position since 1 July 2018. I receive remuneration from this role and this is noted in my Register of Interests. Other entities with an interest in the Sunshine Coast Airport are: · Pinnacle Funds Services Limited as responsible entity for Palisade Investment Partner’s Diversified Infrastructure Fund No. 1 and · Perpetual Trust Services Limited as responsible entity for Palisade Investment Partner’s Diversified Infrastructure Fund No. 2. Any decision-making by Council or Council officers on matters which may impact the Sunshine Coast Airport may be either beneficial or detrimental to the interests of Palisade Investment Partners, LGIASuper, Brighter Super and other entities with a shareholding in the Sunshine Coast Airport. Accordingly, as the matters which are the subject of Agenda Item 11.1 may potentially impact on the Sunshine Coast Airport and its investors (depending on the decision made by Council), under section 150EK of the Local Government Act 2009, I will exclude myself from the meeting while this matter is being discussed and the vote is taken. Councillor M Jamieson informed the Meeting that he would voluntarily not participate in the decision and left the place at which the meeting was being held, including any area set aside for the public and stayed away while the matter was considered and voted on.
