Alexander Heights burglaries halved between 2021 and 2025

Between 2021 and 2025, burglaries in Alexander Heights halved, from 22 down to 11, according to WA Police. With 7,772 residents, the 2025 count gives a rate of 1.4 per 1,000, about a third of the 4.0 recorded across metropolitan Perth.

Eleven is also the lowest yearly figure in the run back to 2017, when there were 29, and well below the 53 of 2018. At suburb level, WA Police count burglaries at homes and businesses as one number. Motor vehicle thefts eased too, from 12 in 2021 to 7 in 2025.

Shutters belong in that picture as a physical layer, not a guarantee. Lowered over a window or glass door, a shutter makes forced entry slower and noisier, and it works best with sound locks and lighting.

Mining work is not common here. At the 2021 Census, 3.5% of employed Alexander Heights residents worked in the industry, against 6.6% for Greater Perth; the census does not record fly-in fly-out arrangements, so treat that as a proxy only. Residents aged 65 and over made up 14.3%, slightly under the Greater Perth figure of 15.8%.

The job we completed in this suburb is a useful example. All 12 shutters in that home run on remote, and the job came with free WiFi, so the shutters can be opened or closed from a phone away from home. Motorised shutters can also run on a timer at set hours each day; WA Police holiday advice separately suggests timers for lights and electronics.

Before a trip, lock every door and window as the police flyers advise, then bring the shutters down as the last thing you do. They also shade the glass through a hot week with nobody inside.

Power cuts are worth a thought too. Ozroll's battery drive system does not rely on mains power, and hardwired motors are available with a manual override, so the shutters can still be operated when the electricity is off. Ask which suits your windows when we measure.

Our 12 shutter job in Alexander Heights

In Alexander Heights we fitted 12 roller shutters for one household, finished in cream and installed in reveal and angle fit. Install time was 3 weeks, and you can see the result on the Alexander Heights project page.

Most homes in the suburb are detached. The 2021 Census counted 90.9% of occupied dwellings in Alexander Heights as separate houses, with 9.0% semi-detached or townhouses and no flats at all. Home ownership was 81.9%, against 70.4% across Greater Perth.

Residential roller shutters suit those houses, with colour and fit type settled at the measure. If you own one of the townhouses, get the strata company's written consent first for any change visible from outside the lot that is not in keeping with the building. For alfresco areas we also make outdoor blinds in Ziptrak, Slidetrack, cafe and motorised styles.

Alexander Heights and City of Wanneroo approvals

Alexander Heights is in the City of Wanneroo. State planning rules let a single house add shutters without development approval as long as the R-Codes apply, the works are deemed-to-comply and the house is not heritage protected.

The City's heritage places policy, in effect from 10 August 2025, confirms that a heritage-protected place is not exempt from development approval, and its exemptions policy adopted on 23 June 2026 says the same for sites on the Municipal Heritage List or State Heritage Register. Alexander Heights is not one of the localities named in the City's 2025 Heritage List.

Strata titled townhouses need one more step. As Landgate's strata fact sheet puts it, the strata company's approval is in addition to any development and building approvals, so start that conversation early.

WA Seniors Card holders can put the Safety and Security Rebate towards window shutters, up to $400 per household.

We are very satisfied with the installation and the shutters itself. The tradesman was on time and quickly installed the shutters without any problem. Ben was awesome when we got a quote and didn’t pressure us in any way. Would recommend to anyone.

Questions about roller shutters in Alexander Heights

How have Alexander Heights burglary numbers changed?

They halved, from 22 in 2021 to 11 in 2025. That gives a 2025 rate of 1.4 per 1,000 residents, roughly a third of the 4.0 across metropolitan Perth.

Will the City of Wanneroo need to approve shutters on my Alexander Heights house?

Generally not for a single house where the R-Codes apply, the work is deemed-to-comply and the place is not heritage protected. Heritage-protected places need development approval, and strata owners need written consent from the strata company where a change is visible and out of keeping with the building.
