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.

Fuck this. This exact thing happened to me. I live in the PNW, Washington State, USA, to be exact. I spent a year or more building my place to spec. Lived in it from 2020 to 2023, when I was informed that I was in violation of local laws.

When asked how I was discovered, they said a neighbor reported me.

Fuck this idiotic world. I was living a good life. I've been in the middle of the city since and can't say I'm better for it.
