Are tiny homes legal in Australia?

While tiny homes are allowed in Australia, the way individual councils (what we would consider local government departments) regulate tiny homes, and what the states create in their laws, can mean that the legality of tiny homes varies significantly from one area to the next. As a rule of thumb, if your tiny home is mobile and built on wheels you will have to adhere to caravan and vehicle legislation. If it is built on a foundation, it must meet local building codes and regulations. Searching for the tiny home you would like to build on a block of land to live on, but there are many things to consider before you make that important decision including speaking to your local council about various requirements and restrictions in your area on what your tiny home can and can not include.
