Joining forces to reach for the stars 

The feasibility study will describe the requirements for the establishment of the Hub and will be presented to the Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science in January 2020. It is expected that the new Hub would strengthen Australia’s position in the global prefabricated building market and deliver the following outcomes:

• support links between the construction and manufacturing sectors, enabling businesses to benefit from advanced manufacturing processes
• support new technologies and innovations, enabling the transformation of the industry to provide smarter, more affordable and more sustainable construction solutions
• expand the manufactured buildings eco-system to improve the ability of business to incorporate advanced technologies and processes within industry

Your input will contribute to the feasibility study findings and help enable modern methods of construction to thrive in Australia.

The workshop facilitator will present a range of key topics for your feedback and advice during the two-hour session. Participants should have senior industry experience in prefabricated construction and/or manufacturing industries.

Topics include:

• Industry 4.0, automation, digitisation
