Forrestfield roller shutters

The trend in Forrestfield is downward. WA Police recorded 59 burglaries in 2021 and 41 in 2025, 30.5% fewer, and the 2019 count was 161. The latest year fell sharply from 89 in 2024, and the first six months of 2026 recorded 10.

At 41 burglaries and 13,181 residents, the 2025 rate is 3.1 per 1,000, under the metropolitan rate of 4.0.

On a single home, shutters add a physical barrier on windows and doors and make forced entry slower and noisier, and that is the honest case for them.

Separate houses are 88.5% of Forrestfield's occupied dwellings, with semi-detached homes and townhouses at 9.1%. Landgate notes that the name is shown on plans as Forrestfield for 1944, and that it is believed to honour John or Alexander Forrest.

For a house, residential roller shutters are the starting point, sized to each window and sliding door. After the measure, the slats are cut to size in our Wangara factory, the pelmets and guides are built, and the motor is fitted and tested before installation day. Commercial and industrial land makes up 19.6% of the suburb, and for shops, workshops and other business premises we also make commercial roller shutters.

Patios and pergolas suit Slidetrack or Ziptrak blinds, and cafe and motorised blinds are also in the range.

For a single house, the state exemption from development approval holds only while three conditions are met: the R-Codes apply, the works are deemed-to-comply, and the place is not heritage protected. Where a bush fire prone site is rated BAL-40 or BAL-FZ, development approval can be required regardless.

The City of Kalamunda's one designated heritage area, an avenue of lemon scented gums along Welshpool Road East, is in Wattle Grove rather than Forrestfield. Its policy covers land within and abutting that area, so it only matters if your property is there.

Holders of a WA Seniors Card can claim up to $400 per household under the Safety and Security Rebate, which lists security window screens or window shutters as eligible items. It can be claimed only once, and the item must cost at least $100 to buy and install.
