CLEVELAND residents are frustrated at hoons roaring around the William Street car park at 2am.
Ric Dunford, who lives on Shore Street North, said he was kept awake by drivers doing burnouts at the car park near his house and called on Redland City Council to take steps to stop the hoons.
"It's gotten worse in recent times," he said.
"What's happened is they've [installed cameras] down at Wellington Point and it appears ... the hoons have come here."
A council spokesperson said four complaints had been made in the past six months about hooning at the car park.
Di Dunford said the drivers loved the wet weather.
"They're going to hit someone. They're doing 90 [km/h] up there [on Shore Street North] before they get to the roundabout," she said.
The pair called for traffic calming devices to be installed in the car park to prevent hooning.
"It's not just odd occasions, it's just about every night at 2 o'clock in the morning," Ms Dunford said.
"They don't even come from here. They drive from a way away."
Cr Peter Mitchell said the car park was managed by council.
He said residents should report incidents through the proper council and police channels.
"If it's not reported, it never happened in this modern world of suggested data driven response," he said.
Mr Dunford said he had phoned the police hoon line multiple times but the problem continued.
He said a neighbour's car had been hit three times when parked legally on Shore Street North.
"We don't want to see a serious accident."
Cr Mitchell said suggestions had included more police and council patrols, implementing a curfew on the car park, traffic calming devices, better lighting, speed cameras and stronger hooning laws.
A council spokesperson said signage options were being investigated to give council compliance officers and police better enforcement capability.
"Hooning enforcement is a ... police responsibility and council encourages residents to report hooning to the Police Hoon Hotline on 134 666.
"Council continues to work with police and supports the Beyond 25 - Survive the Drive education program aimed at young drivers. Anyone witnessing dangerous driving behaviours is encouraged to report them to police."
Cr Mitchell said he asked police and council to help in community engagement and education.
"People feel they need to be heard and understood on these matters, and at present this is not what I'm hearing on balance in Cleveland," he said.
"I am led to believe that data suggests incidents are comparatively low in the area, but of course this is little comfort to those residents I represent who are directly affected."
