Madora Bay burglaries in context
Burglaries in Madora Bay have come down. WA Police recorded 33 in 2021 and 21 in 2025, a fall of 36.4% over the five years, and the 2025 count was also below the 29 of 2017. At suburb level the police publish one figure for homes and businesses together.
Measured against the 2021 Census population of 3,830, the 21 burglaries of 2025 work out at 5.5 per 1,000 residents, above the metropolitan Perth rate of 4.0. That rate is likely overstated. The suburb has grown by an estimated 21.7% between 2021 and 2025, yet the calculation still divides by the smaller census population.
A roller shutter is a physical barrier on windows and doors. It makes forced entry slower and noisier, and once closed it also keeps valuables out of sight from windows.
Madora Bay homes on a timer
Motorised shutters can follow a schedule, rising in the morning and closing at night, so the house keeps a daily pattern while you are elsewhere. That lines up with the WA Police holiday advice to set timers for lights and electronics. Add a WiFi hub and you can check and move the same shutters from your smartphone.
The 2021 Census gives some sense of how often houses here sit empty. In Madora Bay, 10.8% of employed residents worked in mining, compared with 6.6% across Greater Perth. Because the census does not record fly-in fly-out rosters, read that share as a proxy. The 65 and over share was 11.6%, under the Greater Perth figure of 15.8%, and the median age was 36.
One caution for outdoor areas near the beach: Ziptrak advises supervising motorised track guided blinds while they move, because strong wind pressing on the fabric can affect them. Leave the blinds down or up while you are away and let the window shutters run the schedule.
What to fit on a Madora Bay house
Of the 1,296 occupied dwellings counted in 2021, 98.8% were separate houses and 0.6% semi-detached or townhouses. Strata consent rarely enters the picture. Home ownership was 83.3%, well above 70.4% for Greater Perth.
Landgate traces the name to the Madora Beach Estate of 1960, a development of Perry's Estate Agency in Mandurah. The estate name blended Chadora, a mill near Dwellingup, with Mandora, a cattle station between Broome and Port Hedland.
On a house, residential roller shutters usually go on bedrooms and street facing windows first, then sliding doors. Alfresco areas suit Slidetrack or Ziptrak blinds, with marine-grade aluminium frames cut to the opening in our Wangara factory.
Our range
Madora Bay coast and bush fire prone land
The suburb runs to the ocean, and its centre is only about 0.6 km from the coast. Salt carried on the wind is hard on metal fitted outdoors, so talk to us about finishes at the measure and plan to hose down shutters and blind tracks every so often. Mandurah Road also passes through Madora Bay.
Separately, 35.4% of Madora Bay is designated bush fire prone on the state map in effect from 13 December 2025. For existing homes, Building and Energy's retrofit advice is to protect windows with metal screens or bushfire shutters. Ozroll, whose aluminium slats we use, reports that its roller shutters have been tested by the CSIRO against BAL-29 and BAL-40.
City of Mandurah and state rules for Madora Bay
Madora Bay is in the City of Mandurah, and none of the City planning provisions we found deal with shutters or blinds on homes here, so state rules decide. A single house can take shutters without development approval if the R-Codes apply, the work is deemed-to-comply under them, and the place is not heritage protected.
Bushfire mapping adds one exception. On bush fire prone land, the exemption does not apply where the state regulations require approval because the site is assessed at BAL-40 or BAL-FZ, and that requirement covers a single house on lots totalling 1,100 square metres or more. If your assessment lands at either level, check with the City before ordering.
Seniors Card members may also claim up to $400 under the WA Seniors Card Safety and Security Rebate, which names window shutters as eligible.
