Milton Pascal and his family have lived in Mandurah for more than five years, and have loved visiting its public spaces.
But Mr Pascal says in recent months rising incidents of hoon driving in areas where his children frequently visit means Mandurah is no longer a safe place for his family.
"It's too regular now. It's getting worse."
He said that too often, cars have driven recklessly close to his kids.
"They do burnouts at school crossings, Quarry Park, they go drifting around roundabouts, there are black skid marks everywhere," he said. "We used to send the kids out on their own. We've stopped doing that now. This is happening in broad daylight. I can see a death happening."
With children aged eight, 10 and 14, Mr Pascal said too many close-calls have left his family considering moving away from Mandurah altogether. "We might have to pack up and move. It's only a matter of time before one of these cars loses control."
Mr Pascal said he has raised his concerns with the police and Crimestoppers multiple times, with little result.
Speaking at the Mandurah Business Forum late last month, WA Police superintendent John Leembruggen said hooning was a core focus for Mandurah police.
"Since the beginning of the year we have seized 738 vehicles for serious traffic offences - 229 of those were for hooning. (We) don't work in isolation, we have a traffic enforcement group and there is a hoon hotline that the public can call," he said.
Supt. Leembruggen added that record police funding in the state budget meant that the city would soon see a greater police presence to tackle the issue.
To make a confidential report on hoon behaviour and dangerous driving, call the WA Police on 131 444.
