The State Planning Office have released the Tiny Houses Fact Sheet to provide information about planning requirements for tiny houses in the Tasmanian Planning Scheme.
Tiny houses can offer flexibility and housing affordability and sustainable living options. The variety of ways that tiny houses are used can make it difficult to determine which planning and building requirements apply.
To help clarify requirements, the Fact Sheet provides guidance on the current planning requirements for using and developing a tiny house as a permanent residence on a site.
All information is intended as a guide. It is best to seek advice from your council before residing permanently in a tiny house.
The Fact Sheet does not address the building and plumbing requirements for tiny houses. The Department of Justice, Consumer, Building and Occupational Services (CBOS) have issued a regulatory note on tiny houses to provide more information on the current building and plumbing requirements.
