Welcome

WELCOME - Our 5th Year of Tiny Home Expos

Back when the Expo was first conceived in 2019/2020, there was a lingering suspicion that tiny houses might just be a fad — a cute, Instagrammable fantasy lifestyle. A phase. A “look at my adorable cabin in the woods” moment.

Then Brisbane 2021 happened. Our very first Tiny Home Expo event. A complete sell-out.

And it became clear that tiny homes weren’t a fad — they were a movement, an option, a necessity, and a viable solution.

Since then, the Expo has welcomed more than a quarter of a million people through its gates, inspired dozens of new builders and businesses, supported advocacy efforts, introduced new services, and shown Australia an entire world of possibility — all tucked inside 15–35sqm of space.

As the organiser, it has certainly been a learning curve. While everyone else is admiring dreamy lofts, clever architecture and beautiful design choices, I’m usually knee-deep in tiny house regulations — and on top of that, council event paperwork: maps, checklists, hazard analyses… you name it. (If rules and legislation ever become an Olympic sport, I will be bringing home gold for Australia.)

Beyond the endless admin, I feel incredibly fortunate. I get a privileged view of the people behind the homes — the builders, the buyers, and the community of helpers who guide others into their tiny house life.

I often receive calls from someone, somewhere in Australia, who assumes we are a tiny house builder and is ready to purchase.

Instead, they receive a fiveyear crash course in everything they didn’t know they needed to know. Or someone rings because a neighbour or council has thrown a spanner in the works. (I can’t deny it: I do enjoy a good council tussle — because every win clears the path a little more for the next pioneer.)

Then there are the builders enquiring about exhibiting. They proudly list every detail of their joinery, cladding, tiles and cabinetry — and I gently remind them that visitors aren’t choosing between “white subway tile” and “a timber feature wall.” Visitors are choosing a builder, not just a house. Tiny homes are deeply personal, and people want to trust the human building their future retreat, homestead, holiday stay or forever home.

Yes, every builder can add storage, adjust a wall or create stunning features — but only you can bring your personality. That’s what people connect with.

This is why time spent at the Expo is so rewarding. You’re not just browsing homes — you’re meeting the very people who may walk alongside you on your journey. In the speaker area, you’ll hear stories that are raw, emotional, inspiring and wonderfully human. Don’t be surprised if you feel emotional too. Tiny houses tend to do that. They make us

reflect on what truly matters.

So feel free to be passionate, overwhelmed, curious, cautious, excited — or all of the above at once. You’re not alone. That’s what we’re here for: to help, assist, encourage and steady the path.

This magazine is your guide to the event and a snapshot of the people ready to support you long after you leave the gates. It is not a definitive rulebook, and it cannot cover every “it depends” scenario — so please ask questions. That is the only way to find the answers that apply to you.

Most of all, be inspired. Many have done this before you. Very few regret it. All have found it a little difficult and a little confusing at the beginning.

And most importantly, know that you are not alone. This is a whole community — Australia-wide — and we hope to inspire you on your own journey.

Your MC: Kylie Bickle

INSPIRATION

With a degree in the built environment, Kylie began her career designing furniture, objects and spaces before pivoting into building sustainability (Living Futures Institute/Green Star). Determined to create the change she wanted to see in her own backyard, she developed a project designed to work within existing planning and regulatory frameworks (Brisbane City Council).

Hear directly from those who have already made the leap. Discover why they chose tiny living, how they navigated the obstacles, and what life truly looks like on the other side. Meet Vicky Sinclair, Briony Jenkinson, Danielle Lester and Kim Connelly — each with powerful, personal stories of change.

In collaboration with ESC Consulting, Kylie authored Reimagining the Backyard – A Tiny House on Wheels in the Suburbs, a case study transforming a typical suburban block into a productive, multi-generational shared resource. Since 2021, it has been used nationwide in advocacy, demonstrating just how achievable, affordable, legal and safe siting a THOW can be.

FINANCE Mortgages, loans and credit can feel overwhelming. Jamie Mitchell brings expertise in both tiny houses and finance, sharing practical steps to become finance-ready and answering your questions about lending options across a range of circumstances.

SUSTAINABILITY With Kylie Bickle Explore the future of sustainable building materials. Kylie opens the conversation on why we should be using safer, longer-lasting, environmentally responsible products — and how practical those choices really are.

AUSTRALIAN TINY HOUSE ASSOCIATION ATHA is the voluntary organisation that assists the industry advocating for clearer rules and regulation. Joined by Advocate and event organiser, Phae Barrett, discover behind the scenes information on rules and regulations and how we are campaigning for changes.

Mornington Tiny Homes Expo 2026

Regular questions that come to our office, and are seen on various Tiny house Community Forums, and also asked in our Speaker Hall...

ARE TINY HOMES ILLEGAL?

WHAT ABOUT MODULAR?

CAN TINY HOUSES BE INSURED?

No. Tiny homes are not illegal — but they are subject to local council rules.

A tiny house on wheels is legally a caravan.

Yes — but it depends on location and setup.

If you want a small, fixed dwelling with full council approval, consider modular (not on wheels). Most comply with the National Construction Code and are more easily approved.

You’ll see examples at the expo.

Some insurers prefer homes off wheels. Flood zones can be difficult. On wheels, some can be insured as caravans. Off wheels, companies like YOUI may insure them. Some owners choose to self-insure.

CAN I BUY LAND AND PUT A TINY HOUSE ON IT? If it’s vacant land, you’re applying for a Primary Dwelling — similar process to a standard house.

Councils assess emergency access, postal services, infrastructure capacity, and environmental impact (waste, water, runoff). Even on your own land, you can’t simply bury waste — it affects neighbours and wildlife.

If there’s already a primary dwelling, a tiny home as a Secondary Dwelling is usually far easier.

DO COUNCILS ALLOW TINY HOUSES? DO I NEED A PERMIT? Most councils don’t formally recognise “tiny houses.” That’s why terms like caravan or movable dwelling are used.

There are 537 councils in Australia — only eleven properly recognise tiny homes. Councils aren’t being difficult; they simply lack a framework. So they apply standard housing rules.

WA has a pathway. NSW has one. VIC has some supportive councils. QLD is still navigating state-level guidelines.

CAN I GET A TINY HOUSE MORTGAGE?

ARE THERE TINY HOUSE VILLAGES?

Not a traditional 25-year mortgage.

It sounds simple — it isn’t.

Multiple dwellings can trigger a Change of Land Use, often requiring Caravan Park status. Land, compliance, planning and environmental approvals cost millions. Private developers rarely do this cheaply.

Finance options currently resemble personal loans, though companies like Great Escape Finance are working to improve access.

CAN I AIRBNB A TINY HOUSE? Ironically, short-stay is often easier than permanent living. Which in the current housing climate is a realisation that state and council regulators should be thoroughly ashamed of.

There are successes: Moora Moora (VIC), Capel Shire (WA), and an eco-village in Gosford (NSW). Some coops and transitional housing projects (like Nestd and Youturn) also exist.

Landowners can place a tiny home for holiday use, because this is seen as 'temporary stays' — Alternatively, rent space to someone who brings their own tiny house ($150– $250/week). See ParkMyTinyHouse.com.au.

The WA village launching in 2027 may help shift regulation. Meanwhile, there are many Co-ops and ‘under the radar ’ villages that are successful.

CAN I TRAVEL AUSTRALIA IN A TINY HOUSE?

ARE ALL TINY HOUSES BUILT TO CODE?

Not recommended.

Caravans are built for constant travel. Tiny houses are built to move occasionally. Touring “micro-house” designs are the exception.

No. There are no specific regulations and few tiny houses on wheels can meet the NCC - written for large traditional houses.

8

However, this does not mean they are shabbily made, it means the NCC didn’t;t think of anything under 50sqm when writing their construction code!.

Do research your builder carefully. Look for websites with contact info, social media presence with real pics and deliveries, attendance to expos, showroom access, licences, contracts (not just invoices), and proper certifications (BAL, electrical, gas, plumbing).

NOTE: Builders supply the house— site prep and placement are usually your responsibility. So if you are expecting it halfway up a mountain to catch a view… you may need a professional site preparation, some big machinery to get it in place and some expert planning.

Finally, you really do get what you pay for - please think twice when you see super cheap imports masquerading as “tiny houses” online. There are many woeful stories, and the Tiny House industry distances itself from those units for a reason.

OFF-GRID OR ON-GRID? Either.

Off-grid increases resale flexibility and location freedom. Upfront investment in power, water and waste can mean longterm savings — and aligns with the sustainable ethos of tiny living.

community and industry in general. Check if they are member of the ATHA. Ask about them on forums (list provided on this page).

LOOK OUT!

As the Tiny Home Industry grows, there are a few reports of SCAMS and dodgy builders.

In general, there are few ‘cowboy’ builders in the Tiny Home arena. We would start identifying them by those that stick their business cards and leaflets in the car park of an event (I wonder if there is a reason they were not allowed to exhibit?)

Meeting a builder inside an expo and assessing the workmanship is a huge advantage, so keep to reputable builders who attend events and are part of the Tiny House

Pictures online that are computer renders and not real pics. Builders who NO ONE has heard of, but 10’s of thousands of followers on socials (why do they need to buy followers?) No phone or email - just “contact form” style online communication.

Get the name of the COMPANY and do a check.

If you ask a question on a forum and are PM’d by a builder looking like the answer to your dreams… they could actually be your nightmare.

No builder needs to PM you just because you asked an innocent question on a tiny house forum.

ADVERTISEMENTS - TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE… and this, Sadly, is how they get everyone. My Kit Homes got $1.4 million as people believed they were getting a tiny

10

house kit for just $15k Off Grid Experts and Aussie Cabins got people to send $18k for a fully kitted out 40ft, 2 bed container home - and ran off with all the money!

The same container is here at the expo for $89k The commonality here is: The Price is Just Not Right.

CHEAP, NASTY, NON-COMPLIANT - there are 100’s of entrepreneurs ordering on AliBaba, and importing under-par products from overseas to sell to you with a nice-looking website. Be aware that “Built to Australian Standards” from overseas means utterly nothing at all. Ask if Built to CODE (NCC), or if the building can be Certified as 1A, and the “Australian Standards” go out the window. Some people have gone through hell and spent tens of thousands trying to repair imported junk which is nothing more than ‘land-fill’.

In the beginning, tiny houses were a movement.

Alternative. Sustainable. Off-grid. Under the radar. A no-mortgage rebellion against traditional housing. Living closer with nature less stuff.

They were legally caravans: vehicles fitted for habitation and capable of being towed. No one buying a caravan ever asked if it came with council permission to live in it — and early tiny house owners didn’t either. Simple.

Then the housing crisis hit.

Suddenly tiny houses weren’t quirky — they were an option, and a solver of affordability issues - and have become more political. The current crisis pushed them into the spotlight, and councils, operating under frameworks written for large suburban homes, were unprepared.

Trying to fit mobile dwellings into outdated definitions has created confusion nationwide.

And quite frankly, a lot of anger too.

ATHA (Australian Tiny House Association) has advocated for clearer recognition for over eight years. Meanwhile, more than 500 councils are left to interpret rules individually. The result? A patchwork of policy, frustration and delay.

Some progress exists. WA has created workable pathways.

NSW is moving. A small handful of councils in VIC created their own policies. QLD are collaborating with builders to address National Construction Code concerns — things like stair angles, loft heights and clearances. But hurdles remain and as with anything ‘government’ - Oh so slow!

A key sticking point is the myth that living long-term in a caravan magically turns it into a permanent structure - and therefore must be built to NCC - despite the NCC not taking into account anything under 50sqm, built Off-Site and moveable , and not fixed to the land title. Legally, a caravan is not subject to building orders, and this has been through courts in QLD, NSW and recently the Vic Building Appeals Board. Please be assured, tiny houses are winning with the judges! A caravan remains a caravan. Even temporary plumbing connections have been upheld in court. The confusion stems from misreading infrastructure rules — not legislation.

In response, councils have kind of ‘done nothing’. The majority of councils reaction to a tiny house is to do nothing at all, until a neighbour complains. It is possibly correct to

state that 100% of issues that come to a tiny house owner, came because of a neighbour complaint. Personally, I would go and see my neighbours long before I would entertain a phone call to council to ask for permission. Understandably, few people want to invest in a whole tiny house on the basis that their neighbour could cause significant issues and this is what brings us to advocacy.

Currently, the situation is that State pushes the problem to Council ,and council feel that State has not given them a framework. It’s almost a stalemate - and something has to give. Be assured, they will not be ‘banned’. Be assured that councils will not be running around conducting mass evictions. The situation will get better as the powers that be get their heads around this new style of living. Meanwhile, there are pathways if you can look at it with a bit of a ‘temporary’ outlook - (and hope that within 2 years, things will change - because we think it will). Also, consider that '2 years' as an opportunity for you to write 104 weekly emails, chasing up your council. This is advocacy!

Now, let’s talk about what advocacy is not.

Yelling. Calling councils useless, money-grabbing and uncaring (even if they are!). Claiming tiny houses will “solve homelessness (they won’t). Demanding special treatment because your house is small. That is not advocacy — it’s counter-productive. As one of our speakers bluntly puts it, asking officials to ignore the rules just for you, edges into corruption.

Calm persistence, asking for a clear pathway, and working within the system — that’s advocacy. (You can still be quietly outraged - I know I am!)

For deeper legal resources and highlights on some good, (and some bad) councils dealing with tiny houses, visit www.tinyhomesexpo.com.au/legal-links There is also a new page that shows how to write to council, who to email and who to CC, and how to ask - the webpage is to be updated regularly - here: www.tinyhomesexpo.com.au/advocate101

Visit: www.tinyhomesexpo.com.au/legal-links to discover lots more information regarding tiny houses and councils / laws. Also www.tinyhomesexpo.com.au/tiny-house-councils covers why councils ’think’ they are tiny house friendly, but are not!

"If you’re anything like most people we meet, you want to buy a Tiny House but you’re putting it off because you’re worried you’ll have nowhere to put it.

That’s exactly why we created ParkMyTinyHouse, a land matching service connecting property owners with people like you who want to live in a Tiny House but need to live on rented land.

We’ve had great success over 3 years of providing this service, and have helped hundreds of people just like you find their dream Tiny House parking spots!

With 70+ listings Australia-wide at any time and new ones added weekly, there’s a spot for almost everyone.

OR are you considering buying a Tiny House to AirBnb? Let someone else bring their own Tiny and rent them the empty space for similar income instead!

The A&A Worm Farm Waste System is the only secondary Australian Standards certified onsite wastewater system that takes black water, grey water and organic food waste. Worms process the waste efficiently in the tank with further processing in the dispersal trenches improving surrounding soils. No chemical disinfection, no service contracts, no scum, no Sludge, no smells, low power usage ($17.50 per person per year – Australian Standards independent testing 2025). Suitable for tiny homes or large scale commercial businesses; our largest system on the Mornington Peninsula processes up to 5 tonne of horse manure daily. Frogs are commonly found in the effluent pump chute proving the system is good for the environment.

ABOUT YOUR TINY HOME CO. Weʼre a Sunshine Coast-based father-and-son team who have spent years building tiny homes for Aussies nationwide through our construction company, Land Carpentry & Constructions.

Recently, we started a new venture called Your Tiny Home Co., where we partner with respected Australian tiny home builders across the country. For each giveaway we collaborate with a different builder, showcasing a range of beautifully crafted, professionally built tiny homes while giving everyday Australians the opportunity to win a place to call home.

Through our membership platform, youʼll receive entries into our regular giveaways, giving you the chance to win fully built tiny homes, unique holiday getaways and cash prizes. You can choose how youʼd like to be involved, with both one-time and monthly memberships available.

As a member, youʼll also unlock exclusive discounts from our growing network of trusted partner companies, helping you save money on building, furnishing, renovating and even holidaying tiny.

Your Tiny Home Co. is about more than just giving away homes. Every membership helps support Australian charities, with members able to choose which cause theyʼd like their membership to contribute towards. We currently support Bush Heritage Australia, Tangaroa Blue Foundation, Youturn, and the Royal Childrenʼs Hospital Foundation — organisations working to protect our environment, support vulnerable communities, and make a real difference across Australia.

For our current giveaway, weʼve partnered with TYHĀUS Tiny Homes in Sydney to give you the chance to win this beautifully crafted tiny home.

A brand-new, professionally built tiny home will be given away every 3–4 months, giving members ongoing opportunities to win.

All winners are selected through independent random draws, ensuring every member has a fair and transparent chance to win.
