Doubleview roller shutters

Doubleview was named for its views west to the coast and east to the city and hills. Three in four homes here are separate houses, and we make shutters for them in Wangara, 12 km away.

A falling count for Doubleview over five years

Doubleview's burglary rate sits below the metropolitan average. WA Police recorded 31 burglaries in the suburb in 2025, or 3.4 per 1,000 residents, compared with 4.0 across metropolitan Perth. As with every suburb, the figure includes homes and businesses.

The count is lower than it was. There were 42 burglaries in 2021, so 2025 is down 26.2%, and further back, in 2017, the figure was 84.

Where a shutter helps is at the openings. Closed over a window or glass door it is a physical barrier, and forcing a way past it is slower and noisier than with glass alone. Pair it with the simple measures in the WA Police burglary flyer, such as deadlocks on external doors and a house that can be seen from the street.

Away for work or holidays: Doubleview homes on a timer

Mining employs 8.3% of working Doubleview residents, above the Greater Perth figure of 6.6%. The census does not record fly-in fly-out work, so treat that share as a proxy for it and no more. Residents aged 65 and over are 12.6%, below 15.8% for Greater Perth.

For an empty house, motorised shutters on a schedule open and close at set times every day, and WiFi control lets you run them from your phone wherever you are. A remote can close the lot as you leave. If the power goes off while the house is empty, a hardwired Somfy CSI motor has a manual override, so the shutters can still be worked by hand when you get back.

WA Police holiday advice is to lock every door and window, including those for pets, the garage and the shed, and to store valuables and important documents in a safe.

Doubleview's post war homes and what suits them

The name was first used about 1930 by developers Dudley and Dwyer, but the City of Stirling's thematic history says development did not begin to accelerate until the government began providing returned soldiers homes in the northern section of Doubleview after World War II.

At the 2021 Census, 75.0% of occupied dwellings were separate houses, a little below the Greater Perth figure of 77.8%. Semi-detached, terrace and townhouses made up 22.7%, and flats 2.4%. Home ownership was 66.7%, below 70.4% for Greater Perth, and the median age was 37.

For houses, residential roller shutters can be fitted to bedrooms, living areas and glass sliding doors. We cut the Ozroll aluminium slats to size, build the pelmets and guides and fit the motors in our own factory, and test every shutter before it leaves the floor.

For outdoor living, Ziptrak blinds close in a patio or alfresco. The nearest job on our project list is a Ziptrak installation in City Beach, 4.6 km away: 4 motorised blinds with an Anodic Silver Grey frame and 95% Charcoal Vistaweave mesh. We also make Slidetrack, cafe and motorised blinds.

Doubleview, the Stirling heritage list and strata consent

Most Doubleview homes are separate houses, so the state exemption is the place to start. Shutters on a single house do not need development approval when the R-Codes apply, the work complies with the deemed-to-comply provisions, and the house is not a heritage protected place.

Doubleview is one of the City of Stirling localities with places on its Heritage List. If your home is one of them, the exemption no longer applies, and the City weighs any application on its merits in view of the listing.

For the 22.7% of homes that are townhouses, read the strata by-laws before ordering. The default by-law needs the strata company's written consent for anything visible from outside your lot that is not in keeping with the rest of the building, and that consent is separate from any council approval.
