The study will examine safety issues, regulations around prefab buildings and export opportunities, particularly in the Asia-Pacific. Prefabricated construction involves any part of a building or a whole building that is made off-site. This includes modular constructions for homes and offices and tiny homes.
The Industry Minister added there were social and lifestyle benefits to tiny homes, noting "we're also very mindful of the cost of housing". Tiny homes can cost well over $100,000, but an entry-level new home can sell for as little as $40,000.Ms Andrews said tiny homes could provide more affordable accommodation, as well as extra space for family members or guests: "there's so many options with tiny homes.
HIA industry policy chief executive Kristin Brookfield said traditional construction methods for housing would always make up the largest part of the industry but modular homes and prefabrication had many advantages. "[The government's] funding and research program has the potential to break down some of these types of barriers to uptake and look at developing more fit for purpose rules for modular and off-site construction," Ms Brookfield said.
Took 30 years to get a uniform construction code the Building Code of Australia - and it still contains state anomalies. The push by COAG to develop uniform builder licensing laws fell over in 2011. Bureaucracy at federal, state & councils ensures nothing of consequence happens.
How about tiny politician pockets instead, so the rest of us can live a little more comfortably.
Small minded.
Could we see the Morrison family in a tiny home please.
Instead of trying to make existing homes affordable, I take it?
Does this mean SloMo is moving out of Kirribilli House?
Well, poor people should live up dead cow's arseholes. Not much room for them but, who gives a fuck.
This story seems like a bit of PR on behalf of the government. What is so good about small dwellings?

Or better still ignore Morrison and watch Paul Keating which recieved a standing ovation.

NSW government and 'homeless' residents await answers after Sydney high-rise 'crack'The NSW government 'will hold everybody to account' once the root cause of ongoing and persistent cracking in a Sydney apartment complex is identified Highly unlikely. They won’t be able to (or won’t want to) pin the blame on anyone. Of course the real blame lies with the LNP who at the urging of their developer mates have deregulated building standards and processes so much that these problems have and will again occur. Glads will slap a levy on all the folk of NSW to ensure her mates are protected from having to be held to account. Liberals, socialising costs, privatising profit every single day. auspol Yeah sure!
