BAL FZ Bushfire Shutters - Western Australia; Perth, Mandurah, Rockingham, Bunbury, Yallingup

Living in bushfire-prone regions of Western Australia, such as Joondalup, Mandurah, Rockingham, Bunbury, Dunsborough, Yallingup, Denmark, and their surrounds, demands more than just vigilance—it requires proactive, proven solutions to protect lives and properties. These coastal and semi-rural communities are increasingly under threat as bushfire seasons grow longer, hotter, and more intense, especially in areas classified as BAL-FZ (Bushfire Attack Level – Flame Zone)—the highest risk rating under AS3959.

With rising development along the South West coast and the prevalence of dense vegetation, strong winds, and seasonal drought, homes, schools, and commercial buildings in these areas face serious exposure to flame contact, ember attack, and radiant heat. In fact, WA’s southwest—including areas from Rockingham to Albany—is among Australia’s most bushfire-prone zones, with more than 80% of homes in some regional townsites rated at BAL-12.5 or higher, and many coastal fringes and forest-adjacent properties sitting within BAL-FZ zones, according to state and local planning data.

Bushfire Control, a national leader in bushfire protection innovation, delivers certified, Australian-made solutions engineered specifically for Australia’s most extreme fire conditions. Our products are fully compliant with AS3959:2018 standards and have been tested to perform under direct flame contact, meeting the highest safety expectations.

Our Flame Zone (BAL-FZ) Solutions Include:
