Canning Vale roller shutters

Over five years, the Canning Vale burglary count has been little changed: 116 in 2021 and 103 in 2025, a difference of 11.2%. The last year was less settled. After dropping to 66 in 2024, the count went up to 103 in 2025, an increase of 56.1%. On the longer view, 2025 is still well below the 199 recorded in 2017.

With 28.1% of the suburb's land in commercial or industrial use, the count includes businesses as well as homes. Against 34,504 residents at the 2021 Census, the 2025 total equals 3.0 burglaries per 1,000 people, below the metropolitan rate of 4.0.

A shutter is not a fix for a statistic. Lowered over windows and doors, it is a physical barrier, and it makes forced entry slower and noisier, on a house or on a warehouse office.

The City of Canning's local history dates the start of Canning Vale's new residential estates to the 1980s, with Livingston Estate launched in 1986. Until 1925 the area was known as North Jandakot. At the 2021 Census, 94.4% of its 10,444 occupied dwellings were separate houses, 4.8% semi-detached or townhouses and 0.8% flats, and 79.3% were owned (Greater Perth 70.4%).

That makes residential roller shutters the natural starting point, usually for bedrooms and wide sliding doors. The suburb's large commercial and industrial area suits commercial roller shutters for warehouses, showrooms and offices.

For outdoor areas, a nearby completed blinds job is in Treeby, 4.9 km away, where we installed a pair of manually operated Ziptrak blinds, black framed, with 95% Ebony mesh from Vistaweave. The same Ziptrak system suits a Canning Vale alfresco.

Most of Canning Vale is in the City of Gosnells, and just under a third is in the City of Canning, so start by checking which council your address falls under. On the Gosnells side, Canning Vale is not among the suburbs on the LPS 24 Heritage List, and the City's exempted development policy notes that work exempt from development approval may still need a building permit or other approval. For an address on the Canning side, ask the City of Canning directly.

The state rules apply in both council areas. A single house needs no development approval for shutters when the R-Codes apply, the work is deemed-to-comply and the place is not heritage protected. A home in a strata scheme also needs the strata company's written consent for visible changes, and Landgate points out that this consent is in addition to any development and building approvals.

WA Seniors Card members may be able to put the Safety and Security Rebate, up to $400, toward window shutters.
