The government of Western Australia (WA) is allocating $4 million to reopen the Cardup brickworks, a move intended to alleviate a significant brick shortage impacting the region. This investment aims to increase brick production in WA by 10 to 15 percent. The Cardup plant, located in Cardup, will be restarted to address the supply gap. Officials hope the revitalized operation will help meet construction demands and stabilize brick prices. The initiative signals a direct governmental response to the construction industry’s challenges. This funding demonstrates commitment to bolstering local manufacturing capabilities within Western Australia. The reopening is expected to provide a much-needed boost to the state’s building sector.
