Roller shutters Greenwood

Greenwood had 15 burglaries in 2025. That is down from 37 in 2021, a fall of about 60% over five years, and from 71 in 2017, about 79% lower. On the 9,861 people counted at the 2021 Census, the 2025 rate is 1.5 per 1,000 residents, well under half the metropolitan rate of 4.0.

The year before was higher, at 39, so not every year has been lower than the last. Across the full run, though, the direction is clearly down.

A shutter still has a clear, modest role. Rolled down over a window or glass door, it is a physical barrier, and it makes forced entry slower and noisier. Locks and outdoor lighting still do their part alongside it.

Landgate records that the Gold Land Development Corporation began development of this area in 1969. At the 2021 Census it was a suburb of separate houses: 92.6% of occupied dwellings in 2021, with semi-detached and townhouses making up 7.4%. 84.7% of homes were owned, and 36.8% owned outright.

On a Greenwood house, residential roller shutters usually go on the bedrooms first, then the living room windows and sliding doors. Shutters are made to measure in our factory, where the slats are cut, the pelmets and guides built and each motor tested.

Townhouse owners in a strata scheme should check with the strata company first, since its written consent is needed for anything visible from outside the lot that is out of keeping with the building.

For a backyard alfresco, Ziptrak, Slidetrack and cafe blinds or electric outdoor blinds turn it into a usable room for more of the year.

Greenwood is part of the City of Joondalup. For most homes here the state single house exemption decides whether shutters need development approval. It applies only when all three conditions hold: the R-Codes apply to the work, the work complies with the R-Codes deemed-to-comply provisions, and the house is not in a heritage-protected place.

A heritage-protected place under the state rules includes anything on the State Register or a local heritage list, or within a heritage area. The City's heritage page notes that being on its Heritage List means development approval is required to alter or develop, so a listed home needs a check with the City first.

With 19.3% of residents aged 65 or over, the WA Seniors Card Safety and Security Rebate suits plenty of Greenwood households. Security window screens or window shutters are an eligible item, and card holders can claim up to $400, once per household.
