Roller shutters High Wycombe

Burglaries in High Wycombe have been falling. WA Police recorded 46 in 2021 and 31 in 2025, a drop of about a third over five years. Going back further, the 2017 count was 97, so 2025 was 68.0% lower.

For a suburb of 12,198 people, 31 burglaries works out at 2.5 per 1,000 residents, well under the metropolitan rate of 4.0. The count does move about from year to year, with 53 in 2024, but the five year direction is down.

That is good news, and shutters do not need a rising number to be worth having. When lowered, a roller shutter is a physical barrier on windows and doors, and it makes forced entry slower and noisier.

The name High Wycombe was introduced by the subdivider Western Agencies in 1958, after the Buckinghamshire village where one of its partners was born, and the suburb was officially named on 2 June 1978. Houses dominate: 96.2% of occupied dwellings were separate houses in 2021, with 3.6% semi-detached or townhouses.

For houses like these, residential roller shutters are the core product. In our Wangara factory we cut Ozroll aluminium slats to the size of each window or door, build the pelmets and guides, fit the motor and test the finished shutter. Each comes with a 10-year warranty on roller shutters.

For the back of the house, Ziptrak and Slidetrack blinds can close in an alfresco, and cafe and motorised blinds are available too.

High Wycombe is in the City of Kalamunda, and the state planning rules set the test. Fitting shutters to a single house is exempt from development approval if the R-Codes apply, the work meets the deemed-to-comply provisions and the place is not heritage protected.

The bushfire map adds one condition. Where a site in a bush fire prone area is assessed at BAL-40 or BAL-FZ, development approval is needed for the development the state bushfire provisions cover. If your home is on a heritage list or the State Register, check with the City before ordering.

The WA Seniors Card Safety and Security Rebate covers security window screens or window shutters, up to $400 per household. With 16.2% of residents aged 65 or over, slightly above the Greater Perth share, it is worth checking if you hold a Seniors Card.
