What’s Missing in Victoria’s MMC Statement—and Why It Matters
Victoria’s MMC Statement is a meaningful step. It positions MMC as a practical lever for Australia’s housing challenge: faster delivery, higher quality, stronger cost certainty, and lower carbon. It also signals intent across regulation, approvals, skills and government procurement.
But if the goal is scale, the Statement still reads more like a “policy toolkit” than a repeatable operating model. Some pilots struggle to replicate and spread—not because the methods themselves have failed, but because the supporting compliance pathways, delivery mechanisms, and verifiable evidence remain highly project-specific. Transaction costs stay high, lessons don’t compound, and the sector struggles to enter a self-reinforcing cycle of iteration.
