Roller shutters Dudley Park

In 2025 there were 28 burglaries in Dudley Park. Spread across the suburb's 6,957 residents at the 2021 Census, that is 4.0 per 1,000, level with the metropolitan Perth rate of 4.0.

The five year direction is down. The count fell from 62 in 2021 to 28 in 2025, a drop of 54.8%, and it stood at 73 in 2017. WA Police publish burglary as one figure at suburb level, so these numbers cover homes and businesses together.

Level with the metro rate still means 28 burglaries in a year. A roller shutter puts a physical barrier on windows and doors, which makes forced entry slower and noisier. Think of it as a layer on top of deadlocks, key locks on windows and sensor lighting rather than a replacement for them.

Landgate records that the estate of Dudley Park was developed in this area in the 1950s, and Dudley Park was approved as a suburb name in 1989. Separate houses are 84.5% of occupied dwellings. Semi-detached, terrace and townhouses are a real share at 11.3%, and flats or apartments add 3.9%.

Houses suit residential roller shutters on bedroom windows, living areas and sliding doors, built to measure in our Wangara factory from Ozroll components. Villas and townhouses in a strata scheme work differently. Under the default by-laws, anything visible from outside the lot that does not match the rest of the building needs the strata company's written consent, and if the work alters the structure of the lot, the strata company is owed 14 days' written notice before it starts.

For outdoor living, a Ziptrak blind runs in side tracks and can be manual or motorised. The wider outdoor blinds range adds Slidetrack, cafe and crank handle blinds.

Start with the rebate, because it suits this suburb well. WA Seniors Card members can claim the Safety and Security Rebate once per household, up to $400, on eligible items, and security window screens or window shutters are on the list with a $100 minimum purchase. The government's guide on eligible items adds that window shutters bring benefits beyond security, including saving on energy costs and sunlight control.

On approvals, Dudley Park sits in the City of Mandurah. The City's precinct rules on security screens and its heritage precinct apply to the Mandurah city centre and the Halls Head and Lakelands town centres, not here. For a house, the state exemption from development approval applies when the R-Codes apply, the works meet the deemed-to-comply provisions and the home is not heritage protected.

Strata owners need the strata company's consent as well, and Landgate notes that this is in addition to any planning or building approval.
