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.

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.
