sec.19 Disclosure of interests at Coexistence Queensland meetings

This section applies to a member if— the member or a close relative of the member has a direct or indirect pecuniary interest in a matter being considered, or about to be considered, at a Coexistence Queensland meeting; and the interest could conflict with either or both of the following— the proper performance of Coexistence Queensland’s functions for the matter; the proper exercise of Coexistence Queensland’s powers for the matter. As soon as practicable after the relevant facts come to the member’s knowledge, the member must disclose the nature of the interest to the other members at the meeting. The member may further participate in the meeting only if a majority of the other members at the meeting vote in favour of the member’s further participation in the meeting. However, the member can not participate in any vote on the matter at the meeting. A disclosure under subsection (2) must be recorded in the meeting’s minutes. A failure to make a disclosure under subsection (2) does not, of itself, invalidate a decision by Coexistence Queensland.

The chief executive officer does not have a right to vote at a Coexistence Queensland meeting.
