Home » 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.
