5.         DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST
Mayor FC Beveridge called for Declarations of Interest for items listed on the agenda.

Item 12.2 - MC21/93 – for a Development Permit for a Material Change of Use of Premise for
Extension to Intensive Animal Industry (Feedlot from 1,600 SCU to 5,000 SCU) at 312 Anabranch
Road, Breddan QLD 4820 more formally described as Lots 11 and 12 on DV52

I, Cr Graham Lohmann wish to advise that I have a declarable conflict of interest in relation to Item 12.2
in that my nephew [by marriage] works for the Applicant.

Although I have a declarable conflict of interest, I do not believe a reasonable person could have a
perception of bias because we do not have a close personal relationship and that relationship will have
no influence on any decision I would make, if allowed. Therefore, I will choose to remain in the meeting,
however, I will respect the decision of the meeting on whether I can actually remain and participate in the
decision.
