Roller shutters Woodbridge

Woodbridge is a small suburb, with 1,207 residents at the 2021 Census, so its burglary figures need care. WA Police recorded 22 burglaries in 2025, which gives a rate of 18.2 per 1,000 residents against 4.0 for metropolitan Perth. As with every suburb, the count covers homes and businesses together.

The numbers are too small to read a trend. There were 14 burglaries in 2021, 9 in 2024 and 22 in 2025, an average of 12.8 a year from 2021 to 2025. On a base this size, a handful of incidents moves the rate a long way in either direction.

Roller shutters give a household a physical barrier on windows and doors. They make forced entry slower and noisier, and motorised shutters close from a wall switch or remote rather than by hand.

Separate houses make up 71.9% of occupied dwellings in Woodbridge, a little below the Greater Perth figure of 77.8%. Semi-detached, terrace and townhouses account for 23.7% and flats 3.6%, and 62.4% of homes are owned.

On a house, residential roller shutters are built to each opening in our Wangara factory: we cut the Ozroll aluminium slats to size, build the pelmets and guides, and fit and test the motor. Close to one home in four is a semi-detached house or townhouse, and in a strata scheme the default by-laws need the strata company's written consent for anything visible from outside that is not in keeping with the building.

For alfresco areas, motorised outdoor blinds can be fitted with sun and wind sensors that adjust automatically to changing weather. We also make Ziptrak, Slidetrack and cafe blinds.

The City of Swan has two heritage areas, one in Guildford and one in Woodbridge. If your property is inside the Woodbridge Heritage Area, the City says development approval will most likely be required for any alterations, additions or new development. Ask the City before ordering shutters for a home in the area.

The City's Woodbridge Conservation Precinct policy, approved in September 2014, also says solid or roller doors on garages facing the street are generally discouraged. That clause covers garage doors, not window shutters, but it is worth knowing if you are planning other work at the front of the house.

Outside the heritage area the usual state rule applies: a single house needs no development approval for this kind of work if the R-Codes apply, it meets the deemed-to-comply provisions and the place is not heritage protected. Strata owners also need written consent from the strata company.

With 19.4% of residents aged 65 or over, the WA Seniors Card Safety and Security Rebate is worth a look. It lists security window screens or window shutters as eligible, up to $400 per household.
