Bill Stefaniak has gone into bat for the new owner of Dolly’s food van.
The problem? Well three months ago the responsibility of hawker’s licences were transferred from the City Ranger’s Office in the Department of Municipal Services to the Office of Fair Trading in the Department of Justice and Community Safety.
Only, as is the wont of public administration in the ACT, it’s been botched and now no licences can be issued, a fairly basic requirement of local government (as opposed to foreign policy).
