Australia targets 1.2 million new homes by 2024, focusing on fast-track prefabricated infill development for diverse housing types.
Australia's government aims to build 1.2 million new homes by 2024, focusing on infill development and utilizing prefabricated construction for "missing middle" housing types like low-rise apartments, townhouses, and duplexes. Prefabrication can reduce construction time to three months, offer consistent quality, and decrease waste. The government will hold a roundtable discussion to explore opportunities and challenges in the sector, aiming for more diverse housing choices and a socially mixed urban environment.
