NSW to trial prefabricated ‘modular homes’ to address housing crisis

Sites in Wollongong and Lake Macquarie have been selected to trial modular social homes under a state government trial to speed up the delivery of new homes.

The government is still working through regulatory barriers for modular housing, which has not been rolled out at scale before.
