Times have changed indeed! PP was part of Subiaco, now is part of City of Perth. They are not interested about improving things. I did the petition for the parking for PP when they introduced parking fees 24/7. It was very difficult and we had to get the news channel involved in order to achieve a successful outcome (thanks to the kiters for actually showing up, as none of the windsurfers did).
Grass is a minor problem at PP, the real issue is that we don't have safe access to the river, as they keep removing our DIY stairs.
