History

The Minister for Transport, the Hon Patrick Conlon MP opened the “One Stop Shop” on the 28th June 2005. The idea was first tabled at the Premier’s Taxi Council in 2003 and the then South Australian Taxi Association (SATA), now the Taxi Council SA undertook to develop the project further.

Bill Gonis, the Hon Minister for Transport Patrick Conlon and the President of the Taxi Council SA, Mr Jim Triantafyllou.

It was brought about because of the need to reduce the red tape and industry’s recognition of the benefits to Operators and Drivers of a centrally located centre of expertise and excellence, and the government’s willingness to support the concept.

The establishment of a One-Stop -Shop in the metropolitan area provides a central focus for transport related business connected with the taxi industry. All transactions, approvals and information necessary to operate or drive a taxi can be conducted at this single location.

At the Premier’s Taxi Council One Stop Shop Subcommittee meeting held in December 2003 it was agreed that One Stop Shop should incorporate the following:

Be centrally located in the metropolitan area.
Have counter and staff dedicated to taxi business.

Be overseen by a Senior Manager from the Regulatory Services Directorate.
Allow for the potential of an expanding co-operative Industry/Government approach (co-location of TCSA and the One-Stop-Shop)

Members of the industry are willing to transact all business at the One-Stop-Shop as staff members are specially trained and have the expertise to deal with the more complex taxi industry matters.
