2. Expressions of interest have been called for the new seasonal plates for the Dunsborough area. They have not been put out to tender. For reasons of transparency and fairness all new country taxi plates are advertised for expressions of interest in local newspapers. 3. The Department for Planning and Infrastructure has identified that there is an on-going higher level of demand for taxis in the summer months in Dunsborough and that this increased demand will sustain an additional taxi licence during the summer months.
