I have to sit at my computer to have these things.

Council approval is an ongoing discussion.

At the end of the day, they're not defined tiny homes.

So they just fall under the category of a caravan.

So they're exactly the same as if you bought your caravan home and popped it on your land.

In your area, there may be issues with staying in that caravan for a length of time.

And different councils have very different rules in regards to that.

Across the country, everything is a bit different.

There are organisations that are pushing for change, including Tiny Homes Expo.

We feel that with the housing crisis, floods, bushfires and everything that's going on in the country at the moment, and mainly affordability as well, that there is a place for these.

If the councils can work with tiny home people and people that want to live in them, I think they're a really good solution for a lot of people.

Absolutely.

I think I've been quoted as saying that when I first looked into doing the expo, I could only find 37 builders and I've now got hundreds of them on my books and they're very busy.

I'll give you an idea.

One of a very popular builder is currently sitting on a 15 month waiting list and that's not unusual.

Oh, we're getting ready right now for a North Brisbane expo.

It's at Redcliffe Showgrounds and it will be on the 27th to the 29th of May.
