25.01.2022 If you are an LPG customer, we suggest that you get in today and fill your tank up as there has been a BIG increase in the price. Tomorrow (7/01/2020) our LPG will rise to 104.9cpl. and expect all other retaiulers to lift their price the next time they receive a delivery.

25.01.2022 To all our customers who use our high flow Diesel pumps at the side of the building, we are SORRY that pump 13 has been out of action for so long. Unfortunately pump 13 had a leak from the same place that it leaked a couple of years ago. Fortunately the leaks were contained in the sumps we had fitted when we took over the business 5 1/2 years ago so there was no contamination to the environment! We ordered a new pump in June, but because of Covid there have been lengthy dela...ys. We now expect the new pump to arrive at the end of this month and be installed soon after. We are very sorry for the inconvenience this has caused our customers, but our environment is important, and we want to do our bit to protect it. Management Placid Ark

25.01.2022 We would like to apologise to all of our LPG customers for not having it available for the last 2 weeks. We changed suppliers and it took longer than expected to get our new supplier in place. We now have Origin LPG for vehicles, and our price is 104.9 cpl. We look forward to seeing you back for the cheapest LPG in Peel.

22.01.2022 This blokes mixer was strapped on, but we think pulling into the roadhouse was a late decision!

22.01.2022 REMEMBER TO CHECK YOUR WHEEL NUTS!!

21.01.2022 ## UPDATE THANKS AGAIN TO OUR AWESOME FOLLOWERS. We have had the offender identified by several people and will pass the information on to the Police. This person has stolen fuel from us before, but in a different vehicle!! Can anyone please help us identify this DICK. He is driving a Black Ford Territory Ghia Turbo Petrol (older shape) and has false trailer plates on the front and rear. He came from Waroona direction and left heading towards Pinjarra. It's hard enough to m...ake ends meet without losing money like this! Thanks for your ongoing help and support!!!

18.01.2022 Management and Staff at Placid Ark will be sad to see one of our cooks "JESS" leave work to have a baby!! Jess's last day will be on Tuesday 25th August, so if you know her please call in to wish her well. We all hope that everything goes well for Jess and Mark and that they enjoy the new bundle of joy who is due to enter their lives in the near future.... Judith and George and Greg would like to thank her for the many years she has worked wih us and wish her all the joy and happiness this world has to offer. xxx

18.01.2022 It appears that a lot of people are buying extra fuel in-case there is a lockdown, however this should not effect fuel supplies. Petrol Stations are considered an essential service so will not be forced to close. Even if our shop should close due to a staff member getting sick, fuel will still be available via our outdoor payment terminal. Unfortunately LPG would not be available in this instance.... Also, to comply with social distancing, lines have been marked on the floor of the shop to help you keep a safe distance from each other. Please stay safe and follow the rules so that we can slow the spread of this hideous virus.

18.01.2022 Placid Ark are happy to announce that our dining room is now open. All staff have completed their Required COVID-19 training and will do their best to keep you all safe. It is a government requirement that everyone who uses the dining room supplies their name and contact details, so please don’t be offended. ... Thank you for your patience and cooperation!

17.01.2022 We recently had roadworks in front of the Roadhouse where one lane of traffic is closed. Sometimes there is a breakdown in communication!!

17.01.2022 As many will already know, it's "Business not quite as usual" at Placid Ark!! We now have a service window at the front of the store, and our stock has been turned around so that you can "Window Shop" We have had many requests for the Bain-Marie to be moved next to the window, but this isn't easy to achieve. We have a plan and will look at implementing it tomorrow. We hope that this will appease all our hungry customers! If you know what hot food you are after, you can orde...r ahead on 9530 3292 There are disposable gloves available for you to use when you refuel your car, but please only take one or two, not a hanful like some people have. Please take care of yourselves and family during this difficult time! Regards Placid Ark Management

16.01.2022 Placid Ark are now selling a new brand of battery which are supplied by a friend I have known for 30 years. The good news for you is that we can sell batteries at a great price! The largest battery we keep in stock suits most 4x4's and small trucks, N70ZZMF or N70ZZLMF 750CCA by Neutron retails every day at Placid Ark for only $155!! Prices for Neutron batteries start at only $70.... If you are after a TOP QUALITY battery from AMERON, their PRO range of N70ZZMF and LMF are... only $180!! We keep the most popular batteries in stock, but can order batteries for cars, trucks, and tractors as well as DEEP CYCLE batteries. Send us an email with your vehicles make and model, and we can order it for you. [email protected]

16.01.2022 A lot of people have called to see if we are still open for food, and the answer is YES. A copy of the menu is attached. PLEASE call ahead as our kitchen has been quite busy! Phone Placid Ark on 9530 3293

16.01.2022 It's lucky that there was no traffic coming the other way when this person pulled out in front of a large truck! There is clear vision to the right from this exit, so PLEASE take the time to have a good look before you enter the highway. Sorry for the poor picture, but it's still quite dark at 6.30pm.

15.01.2022 The people in this car stole about $80 fuel a week ago and had false plates attached to his vehicle, HOWEVER, the vehicle was later seen with correct plates and this info was passed to Police. Police have now fined the driver $500 for stealing the fuel, and we assume they also cherged him for fitting false plates to his vehicle. THANKS!! to all our Facebook followers who contine to help us locate these parasites!!

14.01.2022 Many people will have heard the ACCC or Politicians criticize petrol station operators for not passing on the drop in the wholesale price of fuel to the Public, and even going to the extent of telling people not to buy any other products from petrol stations to hurt them!! (this is a ridiculous statement to make because this would actually force retailers to increase the price of fuel further) This makes my blood boil!! I know that our fuel turnover has dropped by more than 3...0% whilst our shop sales have dropped by almost 50%, yet I still have the same running costs. There are few things I can do to offset our losses other than to increase our margin on fuel to help reduce the gap. In an article from the Australasian Convenience and Petroleum Marketers Association (ACAPMA) the following excerpt shows the detail of the situation and who makes the most from fuel sales. This article shows the average price of unleaded as being 91cpl. At 91cpl, the federal government is capturing 50.6cpl in excise (42.3cpl) and GST while the rest of the industry the oil producer, the fuel refiner, the shipping company, the terminal operator, the fuel distributor and the fuel retailer are all sharing just 40.4cpl, I think the ACCC commissioner and other Politicians shoot from the hip without doing sufficient home work!!

14.01.2022 Placid Ark are in the process of making some changes to help protect our staff and customers from COVID-19. As a result, our dining room will be closed for dine-in food orders as of 9.30pm tonight (17/03/2020) until further notice. Takeaway food will still be available, and may be eaten in the dining room, but no crockery or metal cutlery will be supplied. We ask that you put your waste in the bin provided so that our staff do not have to touch it.... We are in the process of obtaining glove dispensers so that you may use one to protect you whilst pumping fuel. Until this occurrs, gloves will be available on the table in front of the shop. PLEASE don't take more than one as they are limited in supply and this is for everyones protection!! All Hot Drinks will be supplied in a takeaway cup which you may pour into your keep cup, but this will not be done by staff. SORRY. When washing your hands in our bathrooms, please use the hand towel you use to dry your hands to turn off the tap! There will be signs up everywhere by tomorrow afternoon, but we want to be on the front foot with this and do our best to ensure COVID-19 transmission is minimised at our establishment. We apologise if any of this upsets our customers, but it is done with the best of intentions. If you have any questions or concerns, please call the Roadhouse and ask to speak to George (9530 3293)

12.01.2022 Here is another FUEL THIEF. if you know him and where he lives, please send us a PM. We have decided that we are going to take civil action against these thieves because we never see any reimbursement from the courts. The video is sped up apart from where he hangs up the pump and gets into his car... I wonder at what point he will claim he FORGOT to pay..

10.01.2022 If you aren't getting your batteries from Placid Ark, you're probably paying too much!! Call or Message us for a price!! We have been selling quite a few of our Large Neuton Power 900CCA batteries lately, only $175!!

09.01.2022 Here are yesterdays fuel THIEVES. If you can identify them we would appreciate your help!! The plates on the car are false. We believe that the plates are normally yellow and black. The vehicle will now show damage to the rear left quarter panel and have a broken tail light. Please pm us with any info. CHEERS!!

09.01.2022 As requested, here’s the menu!

04.01.2022 OUR LPG FOR VEHICLES IS BACK ON LINE.. VERY SORRY TO THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN AFFECTED. Take care out there!!

04.01.2022 Do you know Danny Mackie from Furnissdale? Please let him know we have his wallet. Thanks heaps!!

01.01.2022 ## SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATE ## OUR FUEL WAS TESTED THIS MORNING AND BOTH TANKS WERE RECOMMISSIONED BY 9.00AM. We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused to our customers, however, we take our committment to quality seriously, Thanks Placid Ark Management... This evening we heard that some diesel fuel from the Coogee terminal may not be up to regulation standards. As we received a fuel delivery from Coogee this afternoon we have stopped selling deisel until our fuel can be thouroughly tested. We are very sorry for the inconvenience but want to ensure that our customers receive nothing but the best from Placid Ark. It is quite unlikely that our fuel is from the batch involved, but out of an abundance of caution we wont sell Diesel until it is tested. We have a very loyal customer base and know that you would expect nothing less from Placid Ark. We don't know if other petrol stations will do the same, but that is their decision to make. Technicians will be at the roadhouse at 4.00am to carry out their checks, and the result will determine what time we can sell diesel again. Thanks for your continued support, we appreciate it very much!
