           33.2 The Chairperson will call for all Councillors in favour of the motion to indicate their vote for the
                 motion. The Chairperson will then call for all Councillors against the motion to indicate their
                 vote against the motion. The Chairperson shall declare the result of a vote once it has been
                 determined.
           33.3 Councillors shall vote by a show of hands or as directed by the Chairperson.
           33.4 The Chairperson shall declare the result of a vote as soon as it has been determined. The
                 names of Councillors voting in the affirmative and in the negative shall be recorded in the
                 minutes or meeting notes of Council meetings.
           33.5 Except upon a motion to repeal or amend it, a resolution shall not be discussed after the vote
                 has been declared.
           33.6 If a report contains distinct recommendations, the decision of Council may be taken separately
                 on each recommendation.
           33.7 No Councillor may abstain from a vote, and where they do so it will be taken as a vote in the
                 negative.
           33.8 Where a vote is tied between those in favour and those against, the Chairperson shall exercise
                 a casting vote.

           34.   Repealing or Rescinding Resolutions
           34.1 A resolution of Council may not be amended or repealed unless notice of motion is given in
                 accordance with the requirements of the Local Government Act 2009 or the Local Government
                 Regulation 2012.
           34.2 Councillors present at the meeting at which a motion to repeal or amend a resolution is put,
                 may defer consideration of that motion. Such deferral shall not be longer than three (3) months.

           35.   Questions
           35.1 A Councillor may at a Council meeting ask a question for reply by another Councillor or an
                 officer regarding any matter under consideration at the meeting.
           35.2 A question shall be asked categorically and without argument and no discussion shall be
                 permitted at the meeting of Council in relation to a reply or a refusal to reply to the question.
           35.3 A Councillor or officer to whom a question is asked without notice may request that the question
                 be taken on notice for, or prior to, the next meeting.
           35.4 A Councillor who asks a question at a meeting, whether or not upon notice, shall be deemed
                 not to have spoken to the debate of the motion to which the question relates.
           35.5 The Chairperson may disallow a question which is considered inconsistent with an acceptable
                 request or good order, provided that a Councillor may move a motion that the Chairperson’s
                 ruling be disagreed with, and if such motion be carried the Chairperson shall allow such
                 question.
