Nußdorf appoints new building office chief

Nußdorf am Haunsberg will have a new head of its building office from 1 January, ORF reported. The appointment follows an agreed separation from the longtime office chief.

The former chief is alleged to have left files and fee assessments unattended. The presumption of innocence applies.

About 400 building procedures were not handled properly, some dating back 20 years. The public prosecutor’s office is investigating.

Mayor Waltraud Brandstetter of the Austrian People’s Party said a successor had been found. Until the new chief takes up the post, an employee will run the office on an interim basis.
