Carramar's burglary numbers in context
WA Police recorded 18 burglaries in Carramar in 2025, or 2.5 per 1,000 residents. That is below the metropolitan Perth rate of 4.0. Suburb counts like this one combine homes and businesses.
There were also 18 in 2021, and across 2021 to 2025 the average was 13.8 a year. From 2017 to 2025 the yearly figure ranged from 10 to 30, which shows how much a small count can swing. Totals this small are too few to read a trend from, up or down.
Shutters do not change the statistics. What they do is put a physical barrier on windows and doors, which makes forced entry slower and noisier. WA Police advice, separately, covers sensor lighting, deadlocks and keeping valuables out of sight from windows.
Carramar owners heading away: remote and timer control
Home ownership in Carramar was 84.4% at the 2021 Census, against 70.4% across Greater Perth. Mining employed 7.0% of working residents, a little above 6.6% for Greater Perth; the census does not record fly-in fly-out work, so treat that as a proxy. Residents aged 65 or over were 10.0%, against 15.8% for Greater Perth.
Electric shutters can be run from wall-mounted controls inside the house or from a mobile device, and the scheduling feature opens and closes them at set times. That means the house does not sit shut up for the whole time you are gone. WA Police holiday advice, for its part, is to set timers for lights and electronics.
Two more items from the same holiday checklist: store valuables and important documents in a safe, and set your alarm system when you leave.
A Carramar home, its windows and its alfresco
Carramar is almost entirely detached. Separate houses were 97.4% of occupied dwellings at the 2021 Census, against 77.8% for Greater Perth, and semi-detached homes and townhouses made up 1.9%.
That suits residential roller shutters, built with Ozroll components and cut to size for each opening in our Wangara factory. Bedrooms are the usual first priority, followed by the windows you see from the street and the larger glass doors at the back. Each one has a 10-year warranty on roller shutters.
For the alfresco, Ziptrak and Slidetrack blinds close in the sides, and electric outdoor blinds can be linked to voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.

Carramar's mapped bushfire area and main roads
60.8% of Carramar is designated bush fire prone on the state map in effect from 13 December 2025. Building and Energy's advice for retrofitting existing homes is that windows should be protected with metal screens or bushfire shutters. Ozroll states that its roller shutters have been tested by the CSIRO against BAL-29 and BAL-40 standards, and that the specific details of each application should still be considered for compliance.
Wanneroo Road and Joondalup Drive both run through the suburb, and both are classed as strategic freight or major traffic routes under the state road and rail noise policy. If your home is close to either, tell us at the measure which rooms face the road.
Carramar, the City of Wanneroo and its heritage places
Carramar is wholly within the City of Wanneroo. The state exemption for a single house applies only if the R-Codes apply, the work meets the deemed-to-comply provisions, and the house is not heritage protected.
Carramar appears as a locality on the City's Heritage List 2025, which holds 21 place records and 17 lime kiln records across the City. If your property is one of the listed places, the City's heritage policy (LPP 4.12) says a heritage-protected place is not exempt from development approval. For everyone else, the state test above is the one that counts.
Seniors Card holders can claim the WA Safety and Security Rebate on window shutters, up to $400 per household, with a minimum purchase of $100.

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.
The name says it all. Very nice to deal with people who truly have a passion for their job and customer service. The finishing quality was some of the best I’ve seen over my years.
