In short:

The NSW Land and Environment Court has ruled that a couple's caravan requires development consent under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act.

Bega Valley Shire Council has welcomed the ruling but says tiny homes can play a role in providing diverse housing options.

What's next?

The Australian Tiny House Association says the decision may have implications for all tiny home owners in NSW.

Unpermitted housing has issues because it can break or overwhelm some things if you have a bunch of people on a rural line or connection. But the biggest issue is trash which is less likely to happen if tiny home can be legally registered and get garbage service, homeless camps making mounds of trash is the biggest fire risk there is.
