Wagga Wagga Report
The motion was carried.
The minutes do not record that Councillor Kendall any conflict of interest (pecuniary; nonpecuniary
(significant); or non-pecuniary (non-significant)) he may or may not have had as
the director and beneficial owner of Wagga Wagga Air Hangar Pty Ltd when this motion was
considered.
3.3 Other Conflicts of Interests Not Declared at Meetings
Three other apparent conflicts of interests in council meetings found to have not been
declared by Councillor Kendall when the matters were considered and voted on.
(1) Ordinary Meeting of Council 27 February 2012
Matter: Review of Determination of DA11/0243 for Demolition of Dwellings and Erection of
Serviced Apartments, 6-8 Barlow Street, Wagga Wagga (SC-4 RP-4 REV 11/0005)
Resolved: • The Motion on being put to the meeting was lost, leaving the review
undetermined.
• The Motion to declare the development a prohibited development under the
Wagga Wagga Local Environmental Plan
Councillor Kendall voted in favour of the first motion and against the second motion. The
approved plans for this development, which were recorded in the minutes, show that seven
out of the eight documents were prepared by Kendall Design & Drafting, a business owned
by Councillor Kendall’s son, Christopher William Kendall. 62
The minutes of the meeting do not record that Councillor Kendall declared any conflict of
interest (pecuniary; significant, non-pecuniary; or non-significant, non-pecuniary) he may or
may not have had on the basis that a family member was affected by this matter when it
was considered at the meeting. 63
By comparison, at the Ordinary Meeting of Council on 29 July 2013, Councillor Kendall
declared a significant non-pecuniary interest in relation to a development application
considered by Council because Christopher Kendall was the building designer. The minutes
of that meeting record that Councillor Kendall vacated the Chamber during its
consideration. 64
