Roller shutters Morley

In 2017, WA Police recorded 376 burglaries in Morley. In 2025 the count was 63. That is 83.2% lower over eight years, and 65.2% lower than the 181 recorded in 2021. The last year alone took the figure down from 108 in 2024, and the first six months of 2026 added 24.

Measured against Morley's 22,539 residents, 63 burglaries is a rate of 2.8 per 1,000, under the 4.0 recorded across metropolitan Perth. The count combines homes and businesses, which is how police publish suburb figures.

Lower numbers are welcome. A roller shutter gives you a physical barrier on windows and doors and makes forced entry slower and noisier. It sits alongside the basics on the WA Police checklist, such as deadlocks on external doors and sensor lighting.

Landgate says Morley's name was adopted when the area was subdivided for urban development after the Second World War. Morley Park was approved as a postal boundary on 9 July 1954, and the name was changed to Morley on 11 January 1961. At the 2021 Census the suburb's occupied dwellings were 83.5% separate houses, 15.8% semi-detached, terrace or townhouses and 0.5% flats.

For a separate house, residential roller shutters are the core of the job, usually starting with bedrooms and street facing windows. With about one dwelling in six a semi-detached home or townhouse, strata is a real question here. The default conduct by-laws need the strata company's written consent for anything visible from outside the lot that is not in keeping with the rest of the building, and 14 days written notice before you alter the structure of the lot.

For covered patios, we make cafe blinds alongside Ziptrak, Slidetrack and motorised outdoor blinds. Each blind is measured on site, then made in our Wangara factory, with the mesh or PVC trimmed on our CNC cutting table and the aluminium frame cut to your opening.

For a single house, the state planning rules exempt works such as shutters from development approval when the R-Codes apply, the works are deemed-to-comply and the place is not heritage protected.

The City of Bayswater adopted its Development Approval Exemptions Policy on 23 June 2026. The policy does not apply to land or buildings on the City of Bayswater Heritage List, so if your Morley home is listed, ask the City before you order.

Strata owners need their strata company's approval as well, and Landgate points out that this sits on top of any development and building approvals that might apply.

With 18.8% of residents aged 65 or over, the WA Seniors Card Safety and Security Rebate is worth a look. Security window screens or window shutters are eligible items, up to $400 per household.
