Roller shutters Dianella

Burglaries in Dianella dropped from 116 in 2021 to 46 in 2025, a fall of 60.3%. Go back further and the change is larger again: 296 were recorded in 2017, so 2025 sits 84.5% lower.

Those 46 burglaries come to 1.9 per 1,000 residents, under half the metropolitan figure of 4.0. Each suburb total from WA Police covers homes and businesses together. Motor vehicle thefts eased over the same five years, from 22 to 12.

A low rate still is not zero. Roller shutters give windows and doors a physical barrier, and they make forced entry slower and noisier. Treat them as one layer alongside the deadlocks, key locked windows and sensor lights on the WA Police home security checklist.

According to Landgate, the Dianella area began developing in the late 1950s, and the name was adopted in 1958. It is the botanical name of a small purple flowered plant that once grew there in profusion.

Separate houses now make up 71.5% of occupied dwellings, a little under the Greater Perth figure of 77.8%. Semi-detached, terrace and townhouses account for 24.4%, and flats 4.1%. Home ownership is 72.6%, slightly above 70.4% for Greater Perth, and the median age is 43. That mix suits residential roller shutters on bedrooms, living areas and sliding doors, built with Ozroll aluminium slats that we cut to size in Wangara.

Outside, motorised outdoor blinds can carry sun and wind sensors that adjust them as the weather changes. We also make Ziptrak, Slidetrack and cafe blinds.

For the 24.4% of Dianella homes that are townhouses, the first approval is usually the strata company's. Under the default strata by-laws, an owner needs written consent to keep anything visible from outside the lot that does not match the rest of the building. Raise it with your strata company early.

Almost all of Dianella is in the City of Stirling. A separate house there can generally take shutters without development approval, provided three state conditions are met: the R-Codes apply to the work, it is deemed-to-comply, and the property is not heritage protected.

That last condition matters because Dianella has places on the City of Stirling Heritage List, and the City assesses development to listed properties on its merits given their listing. Seniors Card members may also be able to claim the WA Seniors Card Safety and Security Rebate, which names window shutters as an eligible item and pays up to $400 per household.
