PRESCRIBED CONFLICT OF INTEREST / DECLARABLE CONFLICT
OF INTEREST
1. Cr Manning informed the meeting that he may have a perceived conflict of
interest in item 5 – Submission to the Queensland Government’s Tourism
Industry Reference Panel. This report relates to a submission to the
Queensland Government’s Tourism Industry Reference Panel. A member of
the panel, Liz Savage, is a board member for Cairns Airport. He has a conflict
relating to the Airport in relation to a study trip he undertook in 2019.
The panel is a different entity to the Cairns Airport. Liz Savage has significant,
long running aviation experience and is not on the panel specifically
representing the Airport. He does not believe a reasonable person would
believe he was biased. Therefore, he chose to remain in the meeting.
However, he will respect the decision of his fellow Councillors on whether he
can remain and participate in the decision.
2. Cr James advised the meeting that he has a conflict of Interest in relation to
Clause 23 - Councillor Enterprise Bargaining Advisory Committee Terms of
Reference.
His step-daughter, Louise Cameron is an employee of Council. He will deal
with this conflict by leaving the room and not voting on the matter.
3. Cr Olds informed the meeting that he may have a perceived conflict of interest
in Item 15 – Community Grants – Cairns Jockey Club Inc and the Great
Pyramid Race and Country Fair, as he attended a Cairns Jockey Club lunch.
He does not believe a reasonable person would believe he is biased,
therefore, he chose to remain in the meeting. However, he will respect the
decision of his fellow Councillors on whether he can remain and participate in
the decision.
Cr Olds informed the meeting that he had a conflict of interest in Item 23 –
Councillor Enterprise Bargaining Advisory Committee Terms of Reference,
which relates to Council’s EBA. His wife is employed by Council and will
therefore be impacted by the EBA. He will leave the room while the matter is
discussed and voted on.
PURPOSE OF MEETING
To consider the matters listed on the agenda.

GENERAL BUSINESS
1. ESTABLISHMENT OF KIDNEY UNIT IN TOWNSVILLE
The decision by the Queensland Government to establish a new Kidney Transplant
Unit in Townsville ahead of Cairns was labelled as “despicable and appalling” by
Mayor Bob Manning.
We were originally told that Cairns had been slated to get this unit, but then we were
told that people from the State Government got involved who were in favour of it
being in Townsville – it became political.
We took up the matter in support of a number of Indigenous councils and
communities who indicated they found it hard to take the matter forward.
As part of that, we did an analysis with clinicians from within the hospital and we
were given assurances that the right place for this facility was in Cairns.
Cr Manning said he was shocked to learn this morning of the decision to establish
the kidney unit in Townsville.
This decision is despite that clearly the greatest need is in this region – the facts
support this.
The facts:
Cairns has the highest number of patients on dialysis in regional Queensland.
The rate of growth of new patients requiring dialysis in Cairns is twice the
national average.
In 2018/2019, there were 56 transplant referrals from Cairns (one third of these
were Indigenous patients).
In 2019, Cairns patients had nearly triple the transplants than Townsville patients
Cairns’ catchment is much larger than Townsville and includes the Cape and
Torres Strait.
Cairns Airport allows for quick and easy connectivity, including from PNG, with
direct and frequent flights from most locations in Australia.
The rate of chronic kidney disease among Indigenous Australians is seven times
higher than for non-Indigenous Australians.
