DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST IN MATTERS ON THE AGENDA
In accordance with section 150EQ of the Local Government Act 2009 , Councillor Andrew Antoniolli informed the meeting that he has a declarable conflict of interest in Item 1 titled Nicholas Street Precinct – Approval of an Agreement for Lease for Tenancy T5 and Tenancy T6 Venue (37 Nicholas Street) and Item 2 titled Nicholas Street Precinct – Approval for Agreement for Lease for Tenancy MM2 Venue (37 Nicholas Street).
The nature of the interest is that Councillor Antoniolli is the holder of a real estate certificate issued under the Property Occupations Act. As the certificate cannot be enacted unless he is attached to a licenced principal agent, he cannot perform any duties as a real estate salesperson.
Councillor Andrew Antoniolli invited the other councillors to determine if he can continue to participate in the decision process.
It was moved by Mayor Harding and seconded by Councillor Cullen that Councillor Antoniolli does not have a declarable conflict of interest in the matters on the agenda because there is no personal or financial benefit to the councillor and therefore a reasonable person would trust that the final decision is made in the public interest.
The eligible councillors present at the meeting decided that Councillor Andrew Antoniolli may participate in the meeting in relation to the matter, including by voting on the matter.
