| Begging could be made illegal as part of a joint bid by the State Government and City of Perth to tackle the antisocial behaviour marring the central business district.
A committee will be established to review legislative, policing and surveillance solutions to the problems detailed in The West Australian in the past month.
Documents obtained under Freedom of Information laws showed parking officers felt threatened by vagrants who took drugs, urinated and defecated in the city's carparks.
The officers also reported a sudden rise in forceful, co-ordinated begging this year.
They described a new class of beggars who targeted tourists, the elderly and women with children, and often became aggressive when asked to move on.
