Yeah, it's really confusingly worded

Last week the Livingstone Shire council voted to cancel a deal to install the Capricorn Coast’s first EV charger, and a followup meeting held on Thursday to reverse the decision initially failed to win over the required number of four councillors.

But a surprise second motion from the mayor reversing last week’s decision while also asking state and national local government associations to investigate renewables, got up.

So my read of it is:

Cancel project
Try to undo cancellation but fail
Try and succeed to undo cancellation

But I'm not that confident in my comprehension of it
