The Minns government will establish an east coast housing manufacturing hub which could help fundamentally change the way homes are built in NSW by using pre-fabricated materials to speed up construction.
The government will on Sunday announce a key budget measure will be to partner with a private manufacturer to help establish a facility which would dramatically ramp up the use of pre-fabricated or modular housing in a bid to turbocharge construction.
A key focus of the facility would be to deliver medium-density housing developments based on existing pattern book designs, something the government hopes would create a faster and more consistent pathway to get more homes built.
The prefab manufacturing hub could also be used to provide parts for a range of public infrastructure, including schools and hospitals.
