Declarations of Interest
Statement by Councillor Sue Dobson
I wish to bring to Council’s attention my oversight in not declaring a perceived conflict of
interest in Item 3 of Correspondence being a letter from the President of the Airds Bradbury
Community Service and Item 2.2 of the Planning and Environment Committee dealing with
the Airds Neighbourhood Renewal Masterplan at the Council Meeting held on 24 February

I apologise to Council for the oversight and wish to put on record that I have no pecuniary

the Airds Neighbourhood Renewal Masterplan I declared a perceived conflict of interest
when the matter was presented to the Planning and Environment Committee on 17
February 2004.
I would appreciate it if my statement and apology can be recorded and included in the
minutes of this meeting.
Statement by Councillor Aaron Rule
I wish to disclose at the commencement of this meeting that I am employed as an adviser
to the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure, The Hon Craig Knowles, who is charged with
various functions under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.
I do not believe that I have any conflict or that there is any incompatibility between my
employment as an adviser to the Minister and the impartial fulfilment of my duties as

As Council would be aware Councillors Cagney, Fowler, Hawkins, Lewis and Sinclair are not
seeking re-election at the forthcoming Local Government elections.
It is appropriate that their contribution to our community and participation in a wide range of
Council activities be formally acknowledged.
Councillor Sinclair in his eight years on Council brought to the Chamber a high level of
business acumen and a determination to make Campbelltown a City that residents and
visitors would be proud of. Councillor Sinclair’s period on Council was highlighted with a term
as Mayor from September 1998 to September 1999.
Councillor Fowler leaves Council after two terms and her vigilance and passion for
environmental and heritage issues having encouraged all Councillors to carefully consider
issues that impact on our natural and built environments.
Councillor Lewis, who sits to my extreme right, was elected to Council in September 1991 and
was Deputy Mayor from September 1993 to September 1994. During his time on Council
Councillor Lewis has chaired a number of Council Committees in particular the Access and
Bush Fire Committees for the benefit of the community at large.
Councillor Cagney brought a balanced view to debate during her eight years on Council. Her
work in improving the provision of social services to our community and active participation on
the Area Assistance Boards has resulted in an improved quality of life for many of our
residents.
Councillor Hawkins was elected to Council in 1999. At the age of 19 Councillor Hawkins was
the youngest person elected to civic office at Campbelltown. Councillor Hawkins term has
been marked by his dedication to environmental issues and improving services to young
people in Campbelltown.
On behalf of the Council and the community of the City of Campbelltown I would like to convey
our appreciation for the efforts of the retiring Councillors and wish them well in their future
endeavours.
