The 3D-print construction of two unique duplexes started in Dubbo today.  

The walls of the properties are being 3D printed in concrete, a move which is expected to slash traditional construction time from 40 weeks to just 16 weeks.

The use of 3D printing is part of a broader strategy by the Aboriginal Housing Office (AHO) to boost the supply of affordable housing across NSW.

The Sector Visioning Workshop (SVW) co-hosted by the Aboriginal Housing Office (AHO), the NSW Aboriginal Land Council (NSWALC), and the Aboriginal Community Housing Industry Association (ACHIA), concluded with an enhanced commitment to support Aboriginal Community Housing Providers (ACHPs) across New South Wales.

The Aboriginal Housing Office (AHO) has announced Wildflower Gardens for Good (Wildflower) as the successful recipient of its Leading Community Demonstration Site (LCDS) funding for 2024–2027.
