Decision deferred on Potential Southern Thornlands Future Growth Area
Redland City Council has deferred considering the 19 May 2021 General Meeting agenda item about the Southern Thornlands Potential Future Growth Area (STPFGA) due to tightened legislative conflict of interest rules.
Councillors couldn’t contribute at this point because some of the submissions received during previous community consultation on STPFGA were made by individuals known professionally and personally to the majority of Councillors.
In line with legislation, Council resolved to write to the Minister for State Development, Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning to seek approval for the Councillors with the declarable conflict of interest to participate in discussions and vote on the matter.
