Frequently Asked Questions
What areas do you service in Melbourne?
We service the entire Melbourne area and surrounding areas, including St Kilda, Brunswick, and Brighton. Contact us to confirm if we serve your specific location.
Can you live permanently in a tiny home in Australia?
Yes, it is possible to live permanently in a tiny home in Australia, but it depends on how the home is classified and where it is located.
If the tiny home is installed on a foundation and meets local council regulations for dwellings, it can often be used as a primary residence. However, many tiny homes on wheels are classified as caravans or moveable dwellings, and councils may restrict how long you can live in them continuously.
Some areas allow permanent residency in tiny homes under specific conditions, while others require additional approvals. Always check your local council’s planning and zoning regulations before committing to a permanent tiny home lifestyle.
What is the average size of a tiny home in Australia?
In Australia, tiny homes typically range from about 15 to 50 square metres in size, depending on whether they are on wheels or fixed to a foundation.
A standard tiny home on wheels is usually around 2.5 metres wide and 6 to 8 metres long, to comply with road transport regulations without requiring special permits. Some stationary tiny homes may be slightly larger, especially when custom-built to suit permanent living standards.
Clever design techniques, such as lofted sleeping areas, multipurpose furniture, and open-plan layouts, help maximise space and functionality within these compact dimensions.
Are tiny homes cheaper than traditional houses?
Tiny homes are generally much cheaper than traditional houses, but it’s important to consider all associated costs.
The initial build cost of a tiny home is significantly lower, often starting around $70,000 to $150,000 compared to several hundred thousand dollars for a standard house. Ongoing costs, such as utilities, maintenance, and insurance, are also typically lower due to the reduced size and energy needs. However, land costs, site preparation, council approvals, and additional infrastructure (such as sewage, water, and electricity connections) should also be factored in.
Overall, tiny homes offer a more affordable and flexible housing option for those seeking simplicity, financial freedom, or an eco-friendly lifestyle.
