Description	THE PRECINCT is a multi-year, multi-phase feasibility project led by IndustryEdge and backed by Australian Forest & Wood Innovations (AFWI) and industry funding. The project aims to convert plantation forest fibre into factory-built frames, panels, and modules to accelerate housing supply, lower embodied carbon, and create regional manufacturing jobs. It targets Portland, Victoria, leveraging proximity to Australia's largest plantation fibre base and existing manufacturing facilities, with the goal of scaling engineered wood products and prefabricated dwellings to keep timber value onshore.
