Roller shutters in Embleton

Burglaries in Embleton rose over the five years to 2025. WA Police recorded 33 in 2021 and 43 in 2025, an increase of 30.3%. Most of that came in the last year, as the count was 27 in 2024. The 2025 figure is still lower than 2017, when there were 54, by 20.4%.

Embleton had 3,600 residents at the 2021 Census, which puts the 2025 rate at 11.9 per 1,000, against 4.0 for metropolitan Perth. Police publish one burglary figure per suburb, so this count takes in homes and businesses together.

A rise like this is a good prompt to look at the basics: locks, lighting and what covers the glass. A roller shutter puts a physical barrier on windows and doors and makes forced entry slower and noisier. It is one layer among several rather than a guarantee.

The City of Bayswater's history says Morley's growth in the late 1950s was fuelled by a large new area of state housing in the newly formed suburb of Embleton. Today separate houses make up 88.7% of occupied dwellings, with 10.9% semi-detached, terrace or townhouses and no flats recorded at the 2021 Census. 65.5% of homes are owned, below the Greater Perth 70.4%.

Our residential roller shutters come with a choice of drive. A hardwired 240V motor can be paired with a Somfy Chronis timer remote, which holds up to 6 time slots a day for every day of the week. Ozroll's E-Series is a low voltage battery drive that is not reliant upon mains power, which can make for a more efficient installation. Whichever drive you pick, the shutter itself is built in our Wangara factory from Ozroll aluminium slats, with its pelmet and guides made for that window.

Semi-detached homes in a strata scheme need the strata company's written consent for anything visible from outside that is not in keeping with the building. Out the back, a Ziptrak blind can close in a patio, and we make Slidetrack, cafe and motorised outdoor blinds too.

Embleton is in the City of Bayswater. Under the state planning rules, a single house can take on works like shutters without development approval as long as the R-Codes apply, the works meet the deemed-to-comply provisions and the place is not heritage protected.

The City's Development Approval Exemptions Policy, adopted on 23 June 2026, does not apply to land or buildings on the City of Bayswater Heritage List. If your home is listed, the City's approval comes first.

For a strata property, Landgate notes that the strata company's approval is in addition to any development and building approvals. Separately, households with a WA Seniors Card can claim the Safety and Security Rebate, which covers security window screens or window shutters, up to $400 per household.
