A long decline in Quinns Rocks burglaries
The Quinns Rocks figures have moved one way for most of the years on record. WA Police counted 93 burglaries in 2017, 45 in 2021 and 25 in 2025, a fall of about 44% from 2021 and about 73% from 2017. The count was 25 in 2024 as well.
The 2025 rate was 2.8 per 1,000 residents, below the metropolitan Perth rate of 4.0. It is calculated on the 2021 Census population of 8,861, and the suburb is estimated to have grown by 15.1% between 2021 and 2025, so the rate overstates a little. Like every suburb count, it covers homes and businesses together.
A roller shutter's role does not change with the figures. It is a physical barrier on windows and doors, and it makes forced entry slower and noisier.
Timers, remotes and a Quinns Rocks house left empty
Mining employed 6.8% of working Quinns Rocks residents in 2021, about level with the Greater Perth share of 6.6%. Because the census does not record fly-in fly-out work, that share is only a proxy. Residents aged 65 and over were 10.9% of the suburb, below 15.8% for Greater Perth, and the median age was 38.
Before a trip, the WA Police holiday checklist starts with making sure all doors and windows are locked, including those for pets, the garage and the shed. With motorised shutters, one remote closes the lot, and scheduling can raise and lower them at set times while you are away. WiFi connectivity adds control from your smartphone, wherever you are.
If running mains power to a window is awkward, Ozroll's E-Series can collect and store energy from the sun to power its motors. Shutters lowered on a hot afternoon also keep the summer sun off the glass while nobody is there.
Choosing shutters for a Quinns Rocks house
Quinns Rocks is a house suburb. 96.1% of occupied dwellings were separate houses at the 2021 Census, with 2.9% semi-detached or townhouses and 0.9% flats, and home ownership was 75.4%, compared with 70.4% for Greater Perth.
Start with the rooms you sleep in and the glass you can see from the street, using residential roller shutters made to measure in Wangara. Sliding doors and the living area can follow in a second stage. Every shutter comes with a 10-year warranty on roller shutters.
For the alfresco, outdoor blinds in the Ziptrak, Slidetrack or cafe styles close in the sides. Motorised blinds can be scheduled through the Somfy app to open or close at set times.
Our range
Within a kilometre of the Quinns Rocks shoreline
Quinns Rocks has an ocean front, and the centre of the suburb sits about 0.7 km from the coast. Salt in the air is hard on metal outdoors, and that has practical consequences for shutters. Ask about the finish when we measure, and plan to hose down the slats and guides now and then, more often on the seaward side.
The coast gave the suburb its name. Quinns Rocks is named after the offshore reef, thought to honour Assistant Surveyor Robert Quin, who arrived in WA in 1863.
When a Quinns Rocks job needs planning approval
Quinns Rocks is in the City of Wanneroo. Under the state planning regulations, a single house does not need development approval for this kind of work when the R-Codes apply, the work is deemed-to-comply, and the place is not heritage protected. All three have to hold.
Quinns Rocks is not one of the localities on the City's Heritage List 2025. Even so, the City's exemptions policy, adopted on 23 June 2026, says a site on its Municipal Heritage List or the State Register is not exempt, so a listed property needs approval.
A strata lot is different again: the strata company's written consent is needed for anything visible from outside the lot that is out of keeping with the building. And for card holders, the WA Seniors Card Safety and Security Rebate covers security window screens or window shutters, up to $400 per household.
