Three different residents who live in the immediate area, all of whom asked not to be identified for their own safety, said not enough is being done and someone will get hurt.

The multi-level car park was completed in 2019 as part of the Ballarat station precinct upgrade project - according to one resident, groups of alleged hoons have frequented it ever since.

They said groups of up to 30 people were hanging out after hours, and could often be heard revving engines and yelling into the early morning.

Another said they were particularly concerned after an incident last Tuesday night, alleging a man who appeared drug-affected got behind the wheel of a car and skidded around the car park.

The resident phoned police, who then attended - the resident said they spoke to people there, but did not break up the meet.

There are visible nine-metre long tyre marks on the top level car park, though it's not known if this is connected to the alleged offending.

A third resident said the station's security guard patrols were well-known to the offenders, who simply take off when they know the car will go past.

It was also mentioned that for a time, the residents had given up phone Triple Zero, as they were calling almost every night.

The car park is only open for commuters, according to a sign out the front - many people use the facility to leave their cars overnight or across the weekend while in Melbourne.

There are fears current security measures aren't enough to prevent a more serious accident occurring on the car park itself.

The hoons are often seen tearing up and down Nolan Street from Scott Parade, where a fatal accident occurred in 2017, and occasionally cars run up the nature strip.

Graffiti, rubbish dumping, and urination are continually reported, residents say.

While cameras are installed throughout the facility, it's not known if footage is being accessed to identify offenders.

When contacted about the alleged behaviour, the Department of Transport referred enquiries to Victoria Police.

Victoria Police Media said there was no information on any specific alleged incidents, referring enquiries to local police.

IN THE NEWS

Local police urged residents to always phone the Hoon Hotline - 1800 333 000 - as every call helps police build an intelligence file on the behaviour.

Residents say there needs to be a more active presence, either from police, protective service officers, or station security guards.

"It's all full of cameras, I said they're all useless unless they're used," one said.

"No one's fining them for doing something illegal - the drugs, grog, foolery is a disgrace."
