ACTU urges two-year minimum leases and modular builds to boost public housing

The ACTU has called for all renters to have access to a two-year lease and urged the government to turn to modular buildings to significantly increase public housing stock. The union body said a guaranteed two-year tenancy would be available to renters, while a shift to modular construction could rapidly expand the number of public homes. The proposal aims to change rental arrangements and accelerate housing supply through prefabricated building methods. The call was reported by ABC News.
