Roller shutters Henley Brook

Henley Brook had 17 burglaries in 2025. On the 2021 Census population of 2,500, that is a rate of 6.8 per 1,000 residents, against 4.0 for metropolitan Perth. That rate needs a caveat. The suburb has grown by an estimated 53.1% between 2021 and 2025, so dividing the latest count by the older population overstates it.

Over five years the count is little changed: 21 in 2021 and 17 in 2025. Single years have swung around it, from 11 in 2022 to 37 in 2024. As with every suburb figure, homes and businesses are counted together.

A roller shutter does one job here: it puts a physical barrier on windows and doors, so forced entry is slower and noisier. Pair it with the WA Police basics, such as deadlocks on external doors and windows and sensor lighting at entries.

97.3% of Henley Brook's 777 occupied dwellings were separate houses at the 2021 Census, against 77.8% for Greater Perth. Townhouses were 2.1% and there were no flats. Home ownership was 81.3%, and 32.9% of homes were owned outright.

So the starting point is residential roller shutters, chosen opening by opening. On a job in Aveley, 3.1 km away, we used grey shutters with a mix of in reveal and angle fit types.

For patios and alfrescos, Slidetrack and Ziptrak blinds close the open sides against wind and sun. They can be manual or motorised, and like the shutters they are made in our Wangara factory.

Under state rules, adding shutters to a single house needs no development approval if three conditions hold: the R-Codes apply, the work meets the deemed-to-comply provisions, and the house is not heritage protected.

The local check is the City of Swan's Heritage List. Alterations to a listed place need approval so the City can judge the impact on its heritage value. On a bushfire prone lot assessed at BAL-40 or BAL-FZ, state rules can also require development approval for some development that would otherwise be exempt, so ask your assessor whether that applies to your block.
