Western Australia Container Construction Information

Western Australia is Australia's largest state and is located unsurprisingly on the west side of the continent/country. The vast majority of inhabitants live in and around the city of Perth, with the remaining area mostly rural.

With almost one third of Australia's land mass, Western Australia is home to a wide variety of geographies. However, much of the land, especially in the central regions away from the coasts, is quite inhospitable.

This punishing area has abundant natural resources though, so you'll find a variety of industries like mining and oil and gas in some of the more remote regions. And shipping container construction is a popular way to quickly and easily set up offices and housing for workers in these fields.

However, many readers are interested in building container homes in a more urban or suburban environment as their permanent residence. Luckily, there are no huge difficulties in building a Western Australia container home compared to the rest of the country.

As with all Australia states, Western Australia's building codes are based on the Australian Building Code, known as the National Construction Code. The state's Department of Mines, Industry Regulation, and Safety is the primary regional authority for construction, resulting from legislation including the Western Australia Building Act of 2011.
