DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST IN MATTERS ON THE AGENDA
In accordance with section 150EQ of the Local Government Act 2009 , Councillor Marnie Doyle informed the meeting that she has a declarable conflict of interest in any matters related to properties in the CBD owned by the family of Louise Wallace and her husband Dr Michael Fish.
The nature of the interest is that Councillor Doyle has a close personal relationship with Louise Wallace and her husband Dr Michael Fish whose family hold an interest in properties located in the Ipswich CBD.
The nature of the related party’s interest in the matter is that Dr Michael Fish is the son of Gloria Fish (recently deceased). Gloria Fish is a part owner, with others, of properties in Ipswich Central specifically described as:
· Nolan’s Corner – 135–141 Brisbane Street, Ipswich, and
· Adjacent properties at 44-46 Nicholas Street, Ipswich.
Dr Michael Fish is the son of Gloria Fish (recently deceased). Gloria Fish is a partner with others, in the property known as Nolan’s Plaza, specifically described as:
· Nolan’s Plaza – 44 East Street, Ipswich.
Councillor Doyle stated that she does not believe that a reasonable person could have a perception of bias because of her relationship with Dr Fish, regarding his mother’s CBD property interests. The benefit of Council’s Nicholas Street redevelopment is no greater than to a significant number of existing business and property owners in the CBD and is certainly not unique to Councillor Doyle or Councillor Doyle’s related party.
Councillor Marnie Doyle invited the other councillors to determine if she can continue to participate in any decision process relating to these matters.
It was moved by Mayor Teresa Harding and seconded by Councillor Kate Kunzelmann that Councillor Marnie Doyle does not have a declarable conflict of interest in matters relating to these properties 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 Marnie Doyle may participate in any future decision process in relation to the matters, including by voting on the matters.
