The Queensland Government's Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) program was established to accelerate the delivery of much-needed housing across the state through the use of prefabricated and modular construction systems.

By combining standardised housing products with streamlined approval and delivery processes, the program seeks to provide homes and key worker accommodation more quickly, efficiently and consistently for Queensland communities and health facilities.

Fennec Studio's team contributed to the development of siting and planning guidance that informed the preliminary design stages of the program for over 350 sites . Working across a diverse range of housing typologies, locations and stakeholder requirements, the project focused on translating planning, urban design and site-specific considerations into practical guidance that could support efficient project delivery.

A key challenge of the program was balancing the priorities of multiple government agencies and stakeholders while maintaining a clear and consistent approach to housing outcomes. Through an iterative and collaborative process, the project helped establish design parameters that responded to planning requirements, site constraints and community expectations while supporting the broader objectives of the program.

The work demonstrates the value of strategic design thinking in addressing complex delivery challenges. By helping establish a framework for future housing projects, the program supports the efficient delivery of homes while creating better outcomes for the communities they serve.
