Lesmurdie burglaries, roughly halved over five years
Burglaries in Lesmurdie fell from 37 in 2021 to 18 in 2025, a drop of 51.4%. Go back to 2017 and the count was 60. Each year from 2021 has come in lower than the one before, apart from 2023, when 31 were recorded after 28 the year earlier.
The 2025 rate was 2.1 per 1,000 residents, about half the metropolitan rate of 4.0. Motor vehicle thefts were also low, at 3 in 2025.
Low numbers are welcome, but they do not lock a window for you. Shutters give you a physical barrier on windows and doors that you control from inside, and they make forced entry slower and noisier.
Leaving Lesmurdie with the house shut
Lesmurdie's census profile is older than Perth's: 22.3% of residents are 65 or over, against 15.8% for Greater Perth, and the median age is 44. Mining work, at 7.8% of employed residents compared with 6.6% across Greater Perth, is a rough guide to fly-in fly-out households and no more, because the census does not record rosters.
When the house will be empty, motorised shutters are the easy part. One remote lowers the lot, a WiFi hub lets you raise or lower them from your phone, and a timer can work them morning and evening. WA Police holiday advice adds a few other steps: lock every door and window, set your alarm, let your local council or police know when you will be away, and put timers on lights and electronics.
Fitting shutters across Lesmurdie
At the 2021 Census, 95.5% of Lesmurdie's occupied dwellings were separate houses, and 86.9% of homes were owned, 41.9% outright. The suburb's name goes back to journalist Archibald Sanderson's 1897 rural retreat, named after Lesmurdie Cottage near Dufftown in Banffshire, Scotland.
Townhouses and flats are rare here, so strata consent seldom comes up. The usual choice is residential roller shutters on bedrooms, living areas and wide sliding doors, each made to the sizes we measure and covered by our 10-year warranty on roller shutters.
If you want shutters that still move when the power is out, ask about Ozroll's E-Series battery drive, which does not rely on mains power, or a hardwired CSI motor with a manual override. For the deck or alfresco, our outdoor blinds include Ziptrak, cafe blinds, Slidetrack and motorised options.
Our range
Bushfire prone land throughout Lesmurdie
All of Lesmurdie, 100.0% of its land, is designated bush fire prone on the state map in effect from 13 December 2025.
For existing homes up to BAL-29, Building and Energy's retrofit advice is that windows should be protected with metal screens or bushfire shutters. Ozroll says its roller shutters have been tested by the CSIRO against BAL-29 and BAL-40 standards, while noting that the details of each application need to be considered for compliance. Building requirements for bushfire construction are generally not retrospective for existing homes, and alterations to an existing home are excluded if they are valued under $20,000 or do not increase the risk of ignition.
If you have had a bushfire attack level assessment done, share it with us before we measure, since it records the rating that applies to your site.
Lesmurdie and the City of Kalamunda rules
Lesmurdie is in the City of Kalamunda, whose only designated heritage area is a tree avenue in Wattle Grove. For a Lesmurdie house, that leaves the state test. Shutters count as works, and a single house is exempt from development approval only if the R-Codes apply, the works are deemed-to-comply and the place is not heritage protected. On bush fire prone land rated BAL-40 or BAL-FZ, development approval can be needed even so.
Seniors Card members in Lesmurdie can put the WA Seniors Card Safety and Security Rebate towards shutters. Security window screens or window shutters are eligible items, and members can claim up to $400 per household, once over the life of the scheme, on a purchase and installation of at least $100.

Questions about roller shutters in Lesmurdie
Are burglaries going down in Lesmurdie?
Yes. WA Police recorded 37 in 2021 and 18 in 2025, and the 2025 rate of 2.1 per 1,000 residents is about half the metropolitan rate of 4.0.
Do I need approval for shutters on a bush fire prone Lesmurdie block?
Usually not for a single house where the R-Codes apply, the work meets the deemed-to-comply provisions and the home is not heritage protected. Where the bushfire attack level is BAL-40 or BAL-FZ, development approval can be needed.
How much of Lesmurdie is bush fire prone?
All of it. The state map in effect from 13 December 2025 designates 100.0% of the suburb as bush fire prone.
Will my shutters work if the power goes out?
It depends on the drive. Ozroll's E-Series battery drive is not reliant upon mains power, and the hardwired CSI motor has a manual override for operation when power is not present.
