COUNCILLOR PAUL TULLY
In accordance with section 150EQ of the Local Government Act 2009 , Councillor Paul Tully informed the meeting that he has a declarable conflict of interest in Item 5 of the Governance and Transparency Committee titled Proposed New Trustee Lease to Goodna and Districts Rugby League Football Club Inc. over
135 Brisbane Terrace Goodna.
The nature of the interest is that Councillor Paul Tully was a former patron and member of the Goodna and Districts Rugby League Football Club Inc, but hasn’t held a position for over two (2) years.
Councillor Paul Tully invited the other councillors to determine if he can continue to participate in the decision process.
