Tiny Homes Frequently Asked Questions
A tiny home is a compact, self-contained dwelling designed to maximise space and efficiency. Many tiny homes are built on trailers so they can be transported and installed on different properties, offering a flexible alternative to traditional housing.
Council requirements can vary depending on your state, local council and how the tiny home will be used.
