Guide to tiny houses On The Gold Coast

Gold Coast has embraced the charm and practicality of tiny houses. It has become a thriving trend in this coastal paradise.

What people On THE Gold Coast love about tiny houses

Tourists love the Gold Coast for its tourist attractions, high capacity of accommodation, beautiful beaches, and ideal year-round climate. But the locals have come to expect a higher cost of living—especially for housing.

Tiny houses provide an affordable alternative allowing people to significantly reduce their expenses on mortgage or rent.

Compared to a $1-2 million family house in Currumbin, or a $750,000 house in Nerang, a well-designed Hauslein tiny house can be approximately 7 times cheaper.

It since our tiny houses are easily transported it provides flexibility to set up without a DA—especially in Queensland’s relaxed laws for granny flats.


How people On THE Gold Coast use TINY HOUSES 

  • Full-time dwelling - Our bigger tiny house models are specially designed to give 1 or 2 adults or even a small family a very liveable space with all of the necessities and many of the comforts and perks you need. For young couples tiny houses are a viable stepping stone towards property ownership.

  • Family accommodation - People love the flexibility of giving family and friends a beautiful self-contained place to stay for a night or a weekend. A well-designed Hauslein tiny house can even make for the perfect place for family members to stay on a longer-term basis.

  • Guest accommodation - If you have a property with a killer view or near a desirable location on the Gold Coast, then a tiny house could help you tap into rental income from guest bookings, without much of the time, expense, mess, and hassle which often comes with building a traditional second dwelling.


Tiny House Council reguLATions On THE Gold Coast

Tiny houses by Häuslein are available in a range of base models, layouts and optional extras giving people flexibility and choice.

The Gold Coast local council operates under the same building codes and legislation as other LGAs but may also differ in its interpretation and implementation of the law.

Generally, if a tiny house is placed on residential or rural land where there already is an existing dwelling on the property and sufficient space to set it up then the council can have no objection to it.

Remember, a tiny house on wheels is technically a caravan, so it doesn’t require a DA like a normal building.

As a general rule of thumb, the more built up an area is, the more likely your local council might have something to say. It doesn’t hurt to call your local council to check about adding a tiny house on wheels to your property.

Here are the important pointers:

  • You can’t live permanently in a tiny house on a vacant block of land that does not have a dwelling or planning permission for a dwelling.

  • You can’t park your tiny house too close to a neighbour’s fence.

  • You can’t park your tiny house on an easement.

  • You can’t block a neighbour’s views.

  • Beyond council regulations, suburban developments will probably not allow a tiny house to be placed on a vacant block of land.
