| 24.1 | The Authority or any committee must endeavour to reach consensus on any matter that requires resolution. |

| 24.3 | In the event of voting, each member has a single vote on any matter for decision. |
| 24.4 | Voting is by show of hands unless a proposal for a ballot is supported by 50% percent of members present. |
| 24.5 | Any report or advice of the Authority or any committee which reflects a resolution that was not reached by consensus, must reflect: |
| 24.5.1 | the different views of the members on the matter so resolved; and |
| 24.5.2 | which members supported each view. |
| 24.6 | No resolution nor any act authorised by the Authority or any committee is invalid merely because of a vacancy on the Authority, or that committee, or because any person not entitled to sit as a member sat at such meeting at the time the resolution was taken - if a quorum was constituted by the rest of the members present at the meeting and entitled to sit as members at the meeting. |
| 24.7 | The chairperson of a committee has no voting rights if that chairperson is an employee of the Authority. |
