Council’s Code of Meeting Practice states:
23. Rescinding or Altering Resolutions
23.1 A
resolution may not be altered or rescinded except by a motion to that effect of
which notice has been given.
LGA S372
If it is proposed to move a further motion on the same matter in the event that a rescission motion is carried, notice must also be given of the proposed further motion at the time that notice is given of the alteration or rescission motion.
23.2 If a notice of motion to rescind or alter a resolution is given:-
§ at the meeting at which the resolution is carried, the resolution must not be carried into effect until the motion of rescission has been dealt with; or
§ at any time after the meeting at which the resolution is carried, no further action to carry the resolution into effect may be taken after receipt of the notice of rescission until it has been dealt with.
In the case
of a motion of alteration the requirement for no action or no further action to
carry the resolution into effect only applies to that part of the motion
affected by the motion of alteration, if it were to be carried.
LGA S372
23.3 A
notice of motion to alter or rescind a resolution must be signed by at least
three Councillors if less than three months has elapsed since the resolution
was passed.
LGA S372
23.4 A
notice of motion which has the same effect as a motion which has been negatived
by the Council must be signed by at least three Councillors if less than three
months has elapsed since the motion was negatived.
LGA S372
23.5 If a motion which proposed:-
§ the alteration or rescission of a resolution; or
§ having the same effect as a motion which has previously been negatived
§ is negatived no similar motion may be brought forward within three months.
This sub-clause
cannot be evaded by substituting a motion worded differently but being the same
in principle.
LGA S372
23.6 A
motion to which this clause of the Code applies may be moved on the report of a
Council committee and any such report must be recorded in the minutes.
LGA S372
23.7 The
provisions of this clause of the Code relating to negatived motions do not
apply to motions of adjournment.
LGA S372
23.8 Notices of rescission should be foreshadowed at the meeting at which the original resolution was determined or received within three days after publication of the draft minutes. This is to prevent the resolution being enacted prior to consideration of the rescission motion.
The lodgement of the rescission motion was not within the timeframes required by Council’s Code of Meeting Practice. Accordingly Council staff have proceeded with action from the resolution and consent has been issued to the applicant.
Legal advice has been sought regarding the validity of the rescission motion and the following legal opinion has been provided:
“The Notice of Motion to rescind or alter the resolution is ineffective because no further action to carry the resolution into effect needed to be taken as a consent notice had been sent and acknowledged”
