With floods and fires causing permanent damage to homes in disaster homes and a housing crisis in full swing, Australian entity Wild Modular has created 55 modular home designs for residents forced to vacate their properties in the wake of the NSW Northern Rivers floods of 2022.
The NSW Government’s buyback scheme, which forms part of the wider Northern Rivers Resilient Homes Program, looks to support those who lost their homes in the Ballina, Byron, Clarence Valley, Kyogle, Lismore, Richmond Valley and Tweed Local Government Areas. While the buyback scheme does assist in financially aiding residents who lost their homes, construction times and costs of standard homes are leaving victims stranded for months on end.
The Wild Modular homes have been constructed at the company’s factory in Sydney’s west and then transported to various LGAs within the Northern Rivers region. Those who now live in the homes were previously living in caravans or camping.
“We understand how important it is for families to feel safe and secure in their homes,” says Wild Modular Co-Founder Alex Tattle.
