Councillor Rod Kendall appeared to hold the deadlock-breaking vote on Thursday, when he told The Daily Advertiser he could still be swayed before Monday night's meeting where the climate emergency will be the subject of a rescission motion.

On Friday afternoon, Cr Kendall revealed he will vote to undo the call to create a climate emergency plan.

Crs Paul Funnell, Yvonne Braid and Kerry Pascoe are likely to support the rescission motion, given that it was put forward and endorsed by them.

Cr Tim Koshel has also thrown his support behind the upcoming motion.

Although the controversial declaration might not progress, Cr Kendall did not want the climate change issue to be forgotten, intending to foreshadow a motion at next week's meeting.

"I believe that the best action the council can take in this regard is to ensure that the topic of climate change is a particular item that is raised in the consultation process in the review of the Community Strategic Plan," he said.

"This plan represents the community's values and aspirations and is required by legislation and all the actions of the council must be referenced to this plan.

"In my opinion the issue of climate change should be community driven therefore I believe this is the best course of action that should overcome much of the existing division."

Cr Kendall said the review is expected to take place next year for the incoming councillors to consider and adopt for the new term.

Cr Vanessa Keenan, who initiated the first motion, believes the original decision made at the previous council meeting did give the opportunity for the community's input.

However, she said the debate has been "a huge success" regardless of Monday night's outcome because it has started an ongoing conversation.

"There would have been very few households who haven't had that discussion about climate change and regardless of opinions it is important that it's on the agenda," she said.
