A new report from the John Curtin Research Centre is sparking national debate: factory-built homes could be the secret weapon to fix Australia’s housing crisis while reviving its manufacturing sector. By shifting to modular construction, we can build faster, cheaper, and more resiliently — especially as global supply chains remain fragile. Australia’s outdated building system, not immigration, is the real culprit behind the shortage. The plan? A 10-year push to get 35% of new homes built off-site, aiming for 50% long-term — backed by government, industry, and finance to scale up production, use local timber, and train a skilled workforce. This isn’t just about bricks and mortar — it’s about rebuilding an entire domestic construction ecosystem.
