- New all-weather production facility opening celebrated today at award-winning modular and prefabricated home builder Evoke Living Homes in Northam
- Expansion project set to increase production capacity and accelerate delivery of housing in the Wheatbelt region
- Project supported by $200,000 Regional Economic Development Grant
Regional Development Minister Don Punch has today celebrated the official opening of an all-weather production facility at award-winning modular and prefabricated home builder Evoke Living Homes in Northam.
The facility was supported by a $200,000 grant through the Regional Economic Development (RED) Grant program in 2021.
Completion of the 2,000 square metre undercover facility enables Evoke Living Homes to reduce construction delays and increase production by 20 per cent, translating to an additional 8-10 new homes built per year in the region.
The builder has also taken on six new trades and two apprentices to support the increase in production capacity, which will see the business scale into new markets.
During his trip to Northam, Minister Punch also visited another REDs project site at the Avon Industrial Park, where Tradesales are constructing a new commercial office. He also toured the Mortlock Gardens key worker housing precinct and met with the Shire of Northam to discuss the town's growth priorities.
