From www.aumanufacturing.com.au: Australia faces a severe housing shortage, prompting the federal government to plan for 1.2 million new dwellings.

To accelerate construction, repurposing shuttered car factories for housing production could utilise existing trained workers and advanced machinery.

Companies like Hickory Group are already exploring this idea, adapting automotive manufacturing techniques to modular home construction, which could help meet housing demands faster and cheaper.
