Laws prohibiting vehicle clamping are being considered by the West Australian government.

After a flood of recent complaints on talkback radio about increasingly unscrupulous clamping in Perth, Premier Mark McGowan said "legislative options" were being considered.

"I hate it - I think it's un-Australian," Mr McGowan told ABC radio on Thursday, adding unlawful parking should be dealt with in other ways.

The City of Stirling became WA’s first local government to draft a law to ban wheel clamping.

The council voted last month to release its draft Immobilisation and Detention of Vehicles Local Law for public comment.

Council officers initially proposed banning clamping only in free parking areas but this was changed by council to include parking on private property.
