More great news from both the Minns and Albanese Labor governments as they continue to deliver for the north coast.
NSW Housing and Homeless Minister Rose Jackson announced a $9 million modular social housing development delivering 24 new homes has just been completed in South Grafton, delivered via a partnership between the state and federal Labor governments, Northern Rivers Housing and Anglicare North Coast.
This comes as the NSW government recently announced it will build 90 modular homes over the next year. Modular housing is the state’s secret weapon to tackle the housing crisis with good quality homes built significantly faster and cheaper.
NSW is now leading the country, taking inspiration from Europe where this technology is used extensively. These beautifully designed, energy-efficient dwellings will provide a safe, secure home for people who need it most. This is part of an historic $6.6 billion Building Homes for NSW program, the largest investment in housing in the state’s history.
The program will eventually deliver 8,400 new public homes, 21,000 affordable and market homes, and upgrades to 30,000 existing social housing properties. This vital housing initiative could have been delivered many months earlier, had it not been unnecessarily held up in the Senate; this is what Labor governments do, it’s in their DNA.
