Report a Hoon / Antisocial behaviour

Local Government does not have the authority or power to enforce the road rules. The Western Australian Police Force (WAPOL) or Traffic Enforcement Group can assist with any queries or concerns you may have. 

Local Government does have the power to provide traffic and safety improvement methods such as slow points, rumble strips, signage, lighting, speed humps, guard rails etc. which can be a treatment to minimize speeding and hooning on roads. To have such measures installed on the road, the Local Government must undertake road safety and traffic studies, support from 2/3 of the residents directly affected; comply with the relevant agencies standard and to have funds allocated by Council or grants provided by the State Government

If you would like to report unlawful road user behaviour (i.e. antisocial / hoon) please visit the WA Police Force website.
