Good ol Rockingham Council

Never let a chance of making some dollars slip by, by simply opening the overflow parking are they could have shown what a progressive thinking council they could be. How many signs do you see saying come to the Rockingham area and enjoy the water.

We welcome visitors to our city/shire and rate payers you have all this wonderful water to enjoy, if you can find some place to park your boat and trailer that is.

 Yep, and a lot of boaties

 Yep, and a lot of boaties are using Palm Beach ramps because of the sand/silt problem at the Point Peron Ramps.

You can bet that the Ranger would have gone for his normal Sunday cruise out to Point Peron Ramps,and gone "hmm, that's strange plenty of parking available here-no tickets to issue here!".

Let's go for a cruise to Palm Beach Ramps instead- and would have gone...  "Hallelajah" .......

 Rockingham Ranger Response:  Just a fluke that I was driving past 1/2 hour ago and the Ranger was locking the gate/barrier,and I asked him why wasn't the gate opened yesterday morning?  I explained the Parking Infringements.

 His couldn't care less attitude about yesterday was amazing- repeated several times to me  "Ring the Council if you have a concern/complaint".

 Thats rough not what you wanna see after a day on the water especially if the esky is empty, but not just rocko council. Joondalup will be the first to jump on cars parked in trailer bays at hillaries before 12 even if there is no boat trailers in sight and all single bays taken.if there is money to be made the council's are happy to shaft the average joe asap and there is sweet fa we can do about it most times.

 I always feel sorry for the people who had a few too many to drink the night before and do the righty by leaving the car there, only to return hungover the day later and have a ticket.
