Nick Reece has already been facing scrutiny over his campaign donations, after accepting tens of thousands of dollars from donors with property interests in the City of Melbourne.
Melbourne Lord Mayor Nick Reece and councillors will be forced to decide whether there is a conflict of interest when voting and making decisions on issues involving the Queen Victoria Market after taking a donation from market trader and councillor Mark Scott.
The donation from Scott raises potential conflicts of interest after Reece pledged in his campaign to implement a four-point plan for the market and as the City of Melbourne undertakes redevelopment of the heritage-listed site.
“I’ve sought governance advice from City of Melbourne on that, and it’s really up to me to navigate,” he said. Queen Victoria Market trader and City of Melbourne councillor Mark Scott donated $2500 to the Team Nick Reece election campaign.
