Dairy Hall Trader, Michael
Caiafa, has been elected to Melbourne City Council and will join councillors
led by returning Lord Mayor, Robert Doyle, as they shape the city’s progress
over the next four years. Full election results here - https://www.vec.vic.gov.au/Results/Council2016/MelbourneResult.html
Michael campaigned on the
Phil Cleary ticket in the city elections which included opposition to the plans
for renewing the Queen Vic Market. Ironically, it is unlikely that Michael will
be able to vote on matters relating to the market, because of a conflict of
interest. However his involvement in city matters as an experienced retailer
bodes well for all small businesses in the municipality.
We congratulate Michael and
all those voters who saw the wisdom of having a small business voice in the
city’s affairs and recognised the importance of The Queen Vic Market in the
future of Melbourne.
