Australian Tiny House Association & Legalisation of THOWs with Janine Strachan

Tiny House Conversations

#050 - Is a tiny house on wheels legal to live in full-time?
Janine Strachan is the President of the Australian Tiny House Association.

Janine is a wealth of knowledge and very passionate about all things tiny houses on wheels, as you’ll get to hear in the episode today.
In this conversation we talked about:

• The recent progress with tiny house planning policy & local law by two local councils or Shires in Australia, for long-term tiny house occupancy
• How you as an individual can approach your local council for long-term tiny house approval using ATHA’s templates (links in the show notes)
• The progress with tiny house insurance and the specific policy for tiny houses on wheels, now available
• The importance of doing your due diligence when it comes to finding a tiny house builder, and what’s important to look for
• Where Janine sees the future of tiny houses going in Australia, when it comes to wider acceptance, including in council planning and with legislation… and lots more!
