Aboriginal housing is a field that has been explored for some decades, yet implementation of dwellings in remote Indigenous communities have largely failed to meet the needs, culture and climate of the local peoples for many reasons. One issue that has remained a constant problem is that of the quantity of housing stock available, there has been serious overcrowding in remote Aboriginal communities for many years.The Australian Housing and Urban Research I nstitute (AHURI) positioning paper (Baker et al 2007) on the subject estimated there are approximately 16 000 houses needing to be built in the next 10 years to solve this problem. Currently houses in remote communities average $400 000 build cost (Baker et al 2007), at this current costing the number of houses needing to be built according to the AHURI paper becomes somewhat unachievable under current funding arrangements. This conundrum has lead to the state and federal governments to call for expressions of interest for the provision of alternate housing systems with special emphasis on efficient, economical and robust houses to supply the large volume of houses required to bridge the gap between the current stock and that required to overcome problems of overcrowd ing (Baker et al 2007).The aim of this dissertation is to investigate the suitability of prefabricated buildings as housing for remote Aboriginal communities in the Georgina River region. Furthermore, the thesis aims to devise an appropriate model building or kit of parts for implementation in the area and test this model against established assessment framework including the National Indigenous Housing Guide, the Alternative Housing Systems Framework (SGS Economics et al, 2006), and various national and local building and planning regulations.This is conducted through the presentation of a design and subsequent analysis of a model prefabricated house for use as an Aboriginal dwelling in the Georgina River Region. Critical analysis and understanding of the many issues involved inform a brief for and a design of the prefabricated model dwelling. Thus illustrating the suitability of prefabrication along with its inherent economic advantages for remote Aboriginal communities.
