Noosa Council Watch

An independent, unofficial record of Noosa Shire Council — what council decided, what they closed the doors on, and why it matters. About this site

What each councillor has declared in the register of interests council publishes.

Not matched in the latest file

These lines were read out of an earlier file and were not matched in the most recent one. Treat that as a question, not a finding. An interest may have ended — or the same one may be here under different words, because council rewords entries between form versions and a wrapped line can break differently from one file to the next. A single holding can appear in this list in several pieces. The register does not say which, and neither will we.

This is council's document, re-typed by machine, not ours. Each line above was read out of a register file council published for Cr Karen Finzel, and every line links that file. Where the file was a scan, the words were read by OCR and the line says so. Check anything that matters against council's own copy.
