Where does prefab and modular fit in regional housing delivery?
Regional Queensland needs more housing. But how we get it on the ground is a much bigger conversation.
RDA Tropical North and RDA Townsville and North West Queensland have partnered with prefabAUS to deliver ๐จ๐ป๐น๐ผ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ฏ & ๐ ๐ผ๐ฑ๐๐น๐ฎ๐ฟ ๐๐ผ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ถ๐ป ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ด๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐ค๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ โ a free online webinar exploring the practical role prefab, modular and other modern methods of construction could play in regional housing delivery.
Land availability, enabling infrastructure, planning, finance, procurement, construction costs, supply chains, workforce capacity and geography all influence what can realistically be delivered in regional communities.
Prefab and modular construction is increasingly part of the housing discussion, but it is not a simple answer to a complex challenge. Where does it work? What can industry currently deliver? What are the barriers to getting projects off the ground? And what needs to change to create the right conditions for delivery?
The webinar will bring together people working across government, construction, development, research, finance, skills and regional delivery to explore those questions from a range of perspectives.

The program will also include Activating MMC in the Region โ a regional roundtable focused on what modern methods of construction look like in practice outside metropolitan markets and the conditions needed to make them work.
On the agenda
The conversation will explore:
โข Government activity around modern methods of construction
โข Planning, building requirements, policy and procurement
โข What industry can currently deliver โ and the barriers to delivery
โข Finance, insurance, supply chains and research
โข Workforce, skills and the realities of delivering housing in regional communities
The aim is not to present prefab and modular construction as a single solution, but to have a practical conversation about where it could fit, what is already possible and what needs to be addressed to support greater housing delivery across regional Queensland.
