flag Western Australia plans a Neerabup factory to mass-produce housing parts, aiming to boost supply and ease Perth’s housing crisis.

flag The Western Australian government is exploring a factory in Neerabup to mass-produce housing components for medium and high-density developments, aiming to ease Perth’s worsening housing affordability. flag The project, seeking global interest, would use a peppercorn lease on 10 hectares to build a facility modeled after European sites, producing concrete walls, slabs, and piers for on-site assembly. flag It could deliver up to 2,000 apartments annually by 2027, focusing on areas near Metronet transit stations. flag The move follows a surge in property prices, with 129 Perth suburbs now above $1 million median, 19 added in September, and 12 regional areas—like Yallingup at $2 million—also reaching that threshold. flag Cotality economist Kaytlin Ezzy warned rising prices are deepening affordability crises, with average-income households needing over half their pre-tax income for a $1 million mortgage, contributing to declining homeownership among younger and lower-income groups.
