MMC in a NSW context
Reduce construction times, ease cost pressures and build supply chain resilience.
NSW is the nation’s most populated state with over 8 million residents, and is projected to reach more than 10 million in the next 15 years. As a result, the state has the highest level of demand- driven residential building activity in Australia. To date, the construction and manufacturing sector has been unable to meet this high demand. In 2025, around 44,900 new dwellings were completed in NSW. Nationally, Australia continues to maintain a substantial pipeline of homes under construction, reflecting ongoing supply growth, although completions remain below required levels. Under the National Housing Accord NSW has committed to delivering 377,000 new homes by 2029.
Building enough homes to meet the state’s growing demand remains a key government priority. The NSW Government is meeting this challenge through a bold and innovative housing agenda that is unlocking opportunities for new housing delivery while improving efficiency across the system. The Government’s housing agenda includes major planning reforms, such as the establishment of the Housing Delivery Authority, the low and mid-rise Pattern Book designs and associated accelerated planning pathway, and the ongoing Property Audit program, which is unlocking surplus and underutilised government-owned land. Long-term barriers to construction are also being directly addressed with a world-leading Pre-sale Finance Guarantee for developers, helping projects move from planning to construction phases sooner.
