At its last meeting, the council was prepared to pass a report which provided an update on the gas project, before the deputy mayor, Cameron Staines, moved an amendment calling for the council to formally endorse the project.
Cr Loder's rescission motion said the deputy mayor's move flew in the face of the council's "bi-partisan view" of mining and the council's code of meeting practice.
"Unfortunately, the process with which Cr Staines motion passed through council flies in the face of this very important component of Narrabri Shire Council's Extractive Industries Policy," her notice of motion said.
According to the business paper, the council's management has sought legal advice on the original motion which "concluded that the decision made on this matter was a valid decision of council."
