How burglary figures look in Aveley

Aveley recorded 24 burglaries in 2025, the same number as in 2021, so the five year picture is little changed. Spread across the 13,998 residents counted in 2021, the 2025 count is a rate of 1.7 per 1,000, well under half the metropolitan rate of 4.0.

Two notes help when reading that rate. The suburb has grown by an estimated 19.0% between 2021 and 2025, and the rate is worked from the older population, so it overstates the figure. The count also covers homes and businesses together. Over the longer run, 2025 was 52.9% below the 51 burglaries recorded in 2017.

Shutters give a house a physical barrier on windows and doors, which makes forced entry slower and noisier. With a count this low, the case for them in Aveley rests as much on heat, glare and convenience as on security.

Burglary counts cover homes and businesses together. Aveley has grown by about 19% since the 2021 Census, so a rate based on the 2021 population overstates the current figure.

Leaving an Aveley house unattended

Aveley's residents are young. The 2021 Census put the median age at 31, and 6.3% were aged 65 and over, against 15.8% for Greater Perth. 8.0% of employed residents worked in mining, compared with 6.6% across Greater Perth. Treat that only as a proxy for fly-in fly-out work, which the census does not record.

The Aveley job shows one lock and leave setup. All 12 shutters run on remotes with WiFi, so the owner can close all 12 in one go before leaving and open or close them from a phone while away. A timer can raise them in the morning and lower them at night, in line with WA Police holiday advice to set timers for lights and electronics.

A shutter job in Aveley and what suits its homes

For the Aveley project for Vijay, we made and installed 12 roller shutters in grey. Openings were covered with in reveal and angle fit types, and every shutter went on remote with WiFi. Install time was 4 weeks.

That kind of job matches the local housing. At the 2021 Census, 92.9% of Aveley's 4,701 occupied dwellings were separate houses and 6.8% were semi-detached, terrace or townhouses, with flats at 0.3%. Home ownership stood at 79.6%. Residential roller shutters are built for homes like these. Where a townhouse is in a strata scheme, get the strata company's written consent first for anything visible from outside.

For outdoor living areas, our outdoor blinds are made in the same factory, with mesh and PVC trimmed on a CNC cutting table and aluminium frames cut to the opening. Ziptrak, Slidetrack, cafe and motorised blinds are all options.

Bushfire prone areas across Aveley

Nearly half of Aveley, 48.3% of its land, is designated bushfire prone on the state map in effect from 13 December 2025. Building and Energy lists metal screens or bushfire shutters on windows in its retrofit advice for existing homes up to BAL-29. Ozroll says its roller shutters have been tested by the CSIRO against BAL-29 and BAL-40 standards, and adds that the details of each application should be considered for compliance.

If your block is in the mapped area and you have a bushfire attack level assessment, bring it to the measure so the fit can be planned around it.

Aveley approvals under the City of Swan

The state planning regulations exempt alterations to a single house from development approval when the R-Codes apply, the work is deemed-to-comply, and the home is not heritage protected. Meet all three and shutters on an Aveley house need no planning application.

The City of Swan check is its Heritage List. Its heritage page states that development approval is required for alterations to a listed place, so the City can assess the impact on heritage value. If you are unsure whether your property is listed, ask the City before ordering. On bushfire prone land assessed at BAL-40 or BAL-FZ, development approval can be needed even where the usual exemptions would apply.
