Most councils see these as transportable buildings or even a caravan, and not traditional buildings as they can be packed up and moved at will.

NSW and VIC have passed legislation allowing a transportable building to be placed without council’s approval.

Then there are many councils that allow for a transportable building as long as it is 80m² or less to be placed on land near another house without council approval.

Rural land owners, it is your decision to place a Tiny Home on your land, and yours to decide if you want to get council involved.

States other than Victoria or NSW do not need council approval for a caravan to be on your own land. Councils can apply a limit of time you can occupy a caravan and time limit varies from council to council.

When dealing with council it is easier to use term caravan or relocatable building.

There are two main reasons why our tiny homes are built on wheels. Firstly, is because when built on wheels it does not require a building permit as it is classified as a vehicle, so it falls under the same regulation as caravans. Secondly, is movability as a lot of Tiny homeowners enjoy the idea of not being tied down and being able to move around.

Build times can vary depending on the model. But on average, the build process takes around 5-7 weeks. Due to our current workload and the increasing popularity of Tiny homes, we do have a waiting list. However, please feel free to call or email us to discuss this further.
