VISITORS to Western Australia's Sculpture by the Sea exhibition on Cottesloe Beach have been slugged more than $100,000 in parking fines, the local council has revealed.

Billed as Perth's largest free outdoor art exhibition, this year's array included includes 71 sculptures including 21 from artists in China, Spain, Finland, Japan and the US.

But the rush of over 200,000 visitors keen to take in the unique artworks has kept Cottesloe parking inspectors busy with 844 parking infringements issued at the beachfront during the three weeks of the exhibition.

The Town of Cottesloe penalises motorists $200 for infringing a "no stopping" sign, $150 for ignoring a "no parking" sign and $100 for overstaying a parking bay.

Town of Cottesloe chief executive Carl Askew said because of resident concerns, more signs were placed to warn motorists not to park on verges.

"Despite rangers being on duty and advising people of where they can and cannot park there were unfortunately people who continued to ignore both signs and rangers," Mr Askew said.

Plans will also be put to organisers about how to create more temporary parking options next year, he said.
