17 May 2007 and as published and amended in the Government Gazette on 9 July 2010 and on 5 October 2012 is referred to as the Principal Local Law. The Principle Local Law is amended. 4. Clause 6.7 amended Clause 6.7 is deleted and replaced as follows— ‘6.7 Other procedures for question time for the public (a) a “person” means a member of the public; and (b) a question includes a part of a question (so that a question in 3 parts is to be treated as being 3 questions). (2) Unless the Presiding Member determines otherwise, a person may ask up to 3 questions at a meeting. (3) a maximum of 3 minutes is allotted for each person to ask up to 3 questions, including any contextual or opening statement. (4) A person who wishes to ask a question at a meeting must— (a) before the commencement of the meeting, complete a question form provided by the City and place the completed question form in the question tray provided by the City; and (b) be present at the meeting when the question is asked. (5) A completed question form must include— (a) The name and residential or contact address of the person who wishes to ask the question; and (b) the terms of no more than 3 questions that the person wishes to ask. Note—a question form that does not include the residential or contact address of the person is to be treated as correspondence—see clause 6.7(7) below. (6) In cases of disability or other extenuating circumstances— (a) the City, if requested to do so, is to assist a person to complete a question form; and (b) in the absence of that assistance, the Presiding Member may permit a person to ask a question that was not included on a question form. (7) The Presiding Member may decide that a question is out of order, and is not to be recorded or responded to— (a) if the same or similar question was asked at a previous meeting, a response was provided and the person is directed to the minutes of the meeting at which the response was provided; (b) if it is not in the form of a question, or, having regard to its content and length, is essentially a statement or expression of opinion rather than a question; (c) if, in respect of a Council meeting, the question does not relate to a matter affecting the City;
