Declarations of Interest
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
Councillor of this Council in respect of any matter that is on the agenda of tonight’s
meeting.
If, however, a matter does arise in respect of which I believe that I do have a conflict, which
also affects by ability to impartially fulfil my duties as a Councillor, I will advise the meeting
immediately and abstain from participating in discussions and voting on that matter.

Former Councillor Jim Merry
F55448
I am saddened to report to Council that former Councillor Jim Merry passed away on
Saturday 28 August 2004.
Jim served as an Alderman and Councillor with this Council from September 1983 to
September 1999. He was Deputy Mayor from February 1993 to September 1993 following
the death of the then Deputy Mayor, Alderman Jim McGurgan, and served as Council’s
delegate to the former Prospect County Council from September 1991 to July 1995. During
his period as Councillor he served on numerous committees and sub committees and had
a particular interest in the Association of Mine Related Councils.
Jim served in the Royal Navy during the Second World War and was a strong advocate for
any issue relating to veterans with a strong sense of social justice.
Jim is survived by his wife Shirley, a son Roger, daughter Vivien and an extended family.
I propose to write to Shirley Merry expressing Council’s deepest sympathy to her and her
family and acknowledging Jim’s contribution over an extended period of time to the
community of Campbelltown.
