Surely people would prefer to leave Scarborough as it is than implement paid parking? Sure, it needs a bit of a facelift but not at the cost of ripping off the public like the city does.
And u can bet your last dollar that all the other beaches would follow suit pretty quick smart.
Yeh I'd be seriously pissed if they start making you to pay to go to the beach.
I don't care about Scarborough, but other beaches will probably follow suit pretty quickly...
gotta pay those bludgers' wage/allowance rises or there must be a lurk coming up overseas that naturally requires their first class flight to attend
No mate - I think the inflating rates $$$ should cover beach works , local councils are disappointing 
Edit: Actually I probably should add that by putting meters up at beaches it will encourage families & folks to verge park outside other ratepayers houses in sidestreets etc causing by-problems - just doesn't make sense at all mate
TOP TIP:
We just don't go to the beach anymore.
Stay on the ocean forever I suppose….
.
You got it - then the aggro starts - it will force Scabs beachgoers to other beaches clogging up those .... more by-problems
Anyone know whether there's been consultation with Scabs ratepayers ???? Yeah I know silly question 
Seemingly all parking along the beachfront in the U.K is paid parking,too bad if your a windsurfer.
Stopped yesterday at Whitworths Marine shop in Leederville. Parked straight opposite shop,went inside for around two minutes and noticed two filthy parking inspectors preying on their victims.
Ran outside,she was already booking me with the electronic hand thing.
Managed to talk my way out the $80 fine,just.
The more victims they can find,the higher their wage bonus.
These inspectors/council have no conscience,more about linning their pockets.
Paid parking at the beach is bullsh!t and should be legislated against by state govt so the councils can't implement it. The beach belongs to all. Simple. It goes against our aussie way of life, 99% of the world wants to be able to surf, fish, swim whatever like we do and councils wanting to use it as a revenue raiser is just wrong.
I'd rather have beaches with zero facilities than pay or be restricted to 2hrs for a windsurf.
But PM33, seriously you deliberately parked where you should not, or didn't pay. And even though you were liable for a fine she let you off. Dunno what ur complaint is 
I think if they pay us $5 to go the Scarb beach that's sounds about fair
If we have to pay will they take responsibility for security
Would solve our shark problem Less people in the water means less interest and coverage. Not to mention your one time warriors would be gone leaving the more willing surfers out and hopefully a better line up!
When I worked at Ob. City, there were a couple of smart FIFO workers that parked under the hotel, caught the hotel courtesy bus to the airport, came back the same way 2 weeks later and claimed they lost thier ticket.
max charge (back then) was $8.00 for a lost ticket.
bus was a freebee.
At Manly, you have to punch in your number plate which is then printed to your parking ticket to place on dash wtf. Do they think we are going to on sell them for the remaining 24 mins.
