25 Meetings of Board
The Chairperson or, in the absence of the Chairperson, the
Deputy Chairperson or, in the absence of both the Chairperson and the
Deputy Chairperson, the member elected by the members present from amongst their number must preside at a meeting of the Board.
Subject to subsection (3), each member present at a meeting (including the member presiding over the meeting) has one vote.
Questions arising at a meeting of the Board are to be determined by a majority of the votes of the members present and, in the event of an equality of votes, the person presiding over the meeting has a casting vote.
At a meeting of the Board:
one member appointed on nomination under section 14 and one member who was not appointed on nomination under that section must be present; and
the number of members equal to half the number of members holding the office of member plus one constitutes a quorum.
A reference in subsection (4)(b) to half of the number of members holding office is a reference to the whole number that represents half the number of members or, if half the number of members is represented by a number that is not a whole number, the next lowest whole number.
Subject to a resolution of the Board to the contrary, the chief executive must attend all meetings of the Board to inform and advise the Board on matters before it.
