Extracted automatically from the official council minutes, the statutory record under the Local Government Act 2009 (Qld) s150FA. Extraction can miss or mis-parse entries. Each entry links to the official minutes; verify against the source. Declaring a conflict is the process working, not an accusation.

497 motions recorded: 431 carried, 37 lost, 0 withdrawn, 5 lapsed, 24 superseded by amendment. 405 were unanimous.

The chair moves many procedural motions (adoption of minutes, moving between sessions), which inflates the mayoral count. The same honesty rule as speaking time applies.

Casting-Vote Decisions

Rare tie-breaks decided by the chair's casting vote.

Notified Motions

How many notified motions each councillor put on the agenda in 2024 (items councillors raise themselves, not officer reports).

A notified motion is an item a councillor puts on the agenda themselves, rather than responding to an officer report. These are the 9 recorded under the "Notified Motions" section of the minutes in 2024, credited to the councillor who moved each one. Amendments and restatements of the same item are not counted again, and a conflict-of-interest determination on the item is not treated as authorship. A notice withdrawn before it was moved is not counted.

Voting Records

Named For and Against votes from the official minutes in 2024: how councillors vote, together and apart.

Named divisions were recorded only occasionally in this year; these figures cover the recorded divisions only.

How often each pair of councillors voted the same way in recorded divisions. Shading is scaled to the range shown, deepest green for the most aligned pair through to red for the least. Click any cell for that pair's full division history.

Share of each councillor's recorded votes that were on the losing side of the division. A higher share means voting against the eventual decision more often; it is not a measure of merit.

Most Frequent Pairings

Read a row across: how often each other councillor seconded that councillor’s motions. Blank cells: never. Every motion block in the official minutes counts, including amendments and procedural motions, so chairing duty inflates some numbers. A motion needs a seconder before it can be debated, so frequent pairings show who reliably gets whose ideas onto the floor.

About This Data

Every number on this page is computed from three sources, each used for what it is authoritative about, and every number is at most one click from the public record it came from.

  • Meeting transcripts feed speaking time, contributions, phrase counts and topics. Transcription and speaker attribution are machine-assisted and can be wrong. Speaking time includes chairing, which inflates the chair's share.
  • Meeting headers (the published attendance record) feed attendance, apologies and chairing. These are structured facts, not transcript inference.
  • Official minutes (the statutory record) feed motions, named division votes, conflict-of-interest declarations and transparency counters. Extraction is automated against the statutory wording and can miss or mis-parse entries; each extracted record links to the official minutes so it can be verified at the source.

A phrase count is not a formal declaration or ruling. A conflict-of-interest declaration is the transparency process working, not an accusation. Motion and voting figures count what the minutes record; named For/Against divisions became routine practice around 2025, so earlier years understate division detail.

A notified motion is an item a councillor puts on the agenda themselves. These are counted from the minutes' "Notified Motions" section, one per agenda item, credited to the councillor who moved it. Amendments and restatements of the same item are not counted again, and a conflict-of-interest determination on the item is not treated as authorship. A notice withdrawn before it was moved is recorded in the minutes but is not attributed here, because the withdrawal line is narrative rather than a structured record.

Figures for this view cover 2024-01-01 to 2024-12-31.
