Home » Breaking News » COOK LABOR GOVERNMENT INVESTS $49 MILLION AUD TO ACCELERATE MODERN HOUSING MANUFACTURING IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA

The Cook Labor Government has announced a $49 million AUD support package for local housing manufacturers to accelerate housing supply across Western Australia.

THROUGH THE HOUSING INNOVATION FUND, 15 PROJECTS WILL RECEIVE UP TO $5 MILLION AUD EACH TO EXPAND:

Prefabrication

Modular housing

Offsite manufacturing

Modern Methods of Construction (MMC)

Advanced construction manufacturing technologies

THIS INVESTMENT AIMS TO:

Rapidly increase housing supply

Reduce construction timeframes

Boost construction industry productivity

Support domestic manufacturing

Drive technological innovation across Australia’s construction sector

This forms part of the Cook Government’s broader plan to drive housing development, backed by a record $4.7 billion AUD housing allocation in the State Budget.

The message from the Western Australian Government is clear:

Modular construction and MMC are no longer experimental solutions — they are becoming a critical component of Australia’s national housing strategy.

AUSMOD20K ALIGHTMENT

This shift aligns directly with the vision of AusMod20K — a platform driving large-scale modular housing deployment and integrated supply chains across Australia through:

Australia – Vietnam supply chain collaboration

Standardised modular systems

Compliance with NCC & AS/NZS Standards

Program-scale delivery models

Faster and more cost-effective housing solutions

As Australia faces a severe shortage of housing supply and construction labour, factory-built housing and industrialised construction are increasingly recognised as strategic solutions to:

Accelerate delivery

Reduce reliance on onsite labour

Improve quality control

Reduce waste and carbon emissions

Support Net Zero targets across the construction sector

This also opens significant opportunities for Vietnamese businesses in:

Modular manufacturing

Building materials

Steel Cement Fitout & furniture

OEM production

Logistics

…to integrate more deeply into Australia’s construction supply chain in the years ahead.

AusMod20K welcomes collaboration with developers, councils, manufacturers, investors, and supply-chain partners to participate in Australia’s major construction transformation.
