Councillor Paul Tully proposed the following amendment:
That the following paragraph be added to Recommendation 10 and that the existing paragraph become paragraph A. B. That the Council make urgent representations to the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Planning and Minister for Public Works Meaghan Scanlon MP in relation to the Criminal Code (Decriminalising Sex Work) and Other Legislation Amendment Act which became law on 2 August 2024 in relation to the following matters and legislative loopholes: 1. The former Prostitution Regulation 2014 prohibited brothels within 200 metres of a residential area, residential building or public building but that legislation is now repealed and legal brothels are now permitted adjacent to, or in the vicinity of, churches, schools, child care centres and other places where children congregate, subject to having a lawful commercial land use. Councils are unable to restrict or refuse such establishments, other than having planning controls which apply to all business uses. 2. That brothels may now be legally established as “home based businesses” in residential areas provided the workers reside on the premises with up to one non-resident worker. Under the new legislation, “home based businesses” cannot be made “impact assessable” and therefore do not require public notification, with the public having no formal right of objection or any right to appeal such matter to the Planning and Environment Court.
3. That “home based businesses” may operate lawfully between the hours of 7am to 6pm Monday to Saturday. Any applications to vary individual hours are deemed “code assessable” and therefore are not required to be advertised or notified to adjoining property owners or the general public, and with the public having no formal right of objection or any right to appeal the matter to the Planning and Environment Court.
4. Permitted signage advertising a lawful brothel in a residential area is allowed up to 0.5m2, being the equivalent of 1 metre by 0.5 metres. The wording is subject to the discretion of the brothel owner or operator as Councils do not control the wording and / or graphic content of advertisements for lawful businesses. Indiscreet or offensive advertising of brothels could occur in both residential and commercial areas. The mover of the original motion agreed to the proposed amendment. |

In accordance with section 150ET(4) of the Local Government Act 2009, Councillor Marnie Doyle advised of a previously declared Declarable Conflict of Interest in relation to matters concerning properties in the CBD owned by the family of Louise Wallace and her husband Dr Michael Fish. This declaration was made at the Ipswich Central Redevelopment Committee of 13 October 2022.
The previously declared nature of the related party’s interest in the matter was that Dr Michael Fish is the son of Gloria Fish (recently deceased). Gloria Fish is a part owner, with others, of properties in Ipswich Central specifically described as:
· Nolan’s Corner – 135–141 Brisbane Street, Ipswich, and
· Adjacent properties at 44-46 Nicholas Street, Ipswich.
Dr Michael Fish is the son of Gloria Fish (recently deceased). Gloria Fish is a partner with others, in the property known as Nolan’s Plaza, specifically described as:
· Nolan’s Plaza – 44 East Street, Ipswich.
The eligible councillors at that meeting resolved that Councillor Marnie Doyle may participate in any future decision process in relation to the matters, including by voting on the matters.
Councillor Marnie Doyle advised that she is declaring this matter again as the estate of Gloria Fish has now been finalised and the estate now sits with the four children of Gloria Fish.
Dr Michael Fish is one of those four children and is a close personal friend and Councillor Doyle is Godmother to his and his wife’s (Louise Wallace) son.
Dr Michael Fish now has 1/4th ownership in the ‘properties’ previously declared.
For context and background Councillor Doyle noted that the ownership of the properties described above lies with 5 separate owners. One of the owners was Gerry Nolan, and when he passed, his ownership of his part of the building transferred to his 4 daughters. One of those daughters is Gloria Fish who has sadly passed, leaving her share to her four children (beneficiaries of her estate) with one of those children being Dr Michael Fish.
Councillor Doyle explained that as a result, the ownership of the property that is the subject of the potential conflict of interest represents 1/5th of the entire building, and with respect to the ownership structure of that 1/5th, it is ¼ share of the ¼ ownership.
It was moved by Mayor Teresa Harding and seconded by Councillor Paul Tully that Councillor Marnie Doyle participates and remains in the meeting including by voting on items related to the Nicholas Street Precinct because there is no personal or financial benefit to the Councillor and therefore a reasonable person would trust that the final decision is made in the public interest.
