Little Latitude Homes

💚 MORE ACTION PLEASE

The Tasmanian Greens are unique as a political party, in that they refer to tiny homes twice, in their Policies, under ‘Housing & Renting', and 'Planning'.

Their wording is:

» “Reform regulations to support innovative housing options like tiny homes”

Webpage:
https://tasgreensmps.org/policy/

Perhaps they are referring to permanently fixed, rather than transportable tiny homes.

Nonetheless, can we see some action please?

In decades of helping people experiencing homelessness, I have never seen conditions across this country as bad as they are now at this scale.

It is well beyond time to declare a housing and homelessness emergency and use emergency powers to make affordable, practical shelter options possible on a mass scale.

Governments must remove unnecessary barriers and rein in the absurd overreach that blocks people from creating their own shelter solutions.

People are willing to help themselves and each other. They need lawful options they can actually afford and authorities willing to make those options possible.

You cannot keep refusing people permission to shelter themselves while offering them nowhere else to go. Start holding your representatives to account!

“When the rules prevent people from creating shelter, those who make the rules must answer for the absence of lawful alternatives.” Vangy Baker Housing Crisis Australia

✨ CALLING NSW TINY HOME DWELLERS✨

Here’s your chance to be part of NSW history! 📸

Australian Tiny House Association has been contacted by photographer Paul Blackmore, who has been commissioned by the State Library of NSW to photograph people living in tiny homes across NSW.

Paul wishes to connect with individuals or families, of all ages, who have chosen ‘tiny life’.

While there’s no confirmed exhibition date just yet, the work will be exhibited down the track and will become part of the Library’s archive as a historical record.

It may also be featured in the Library’s publication, Open Book. 📖

Interested in being photographed for the project?
Get in touch with Paul directly at 📧 [email protected]

Anyone else like a chart?

📊 House sales, & private rental costs around Australia.

Due to continuing lack of affordability in Tasmania (relative to income), no wonder interest in tiny homes on wheels is high.

Has anyone in Tasmania succeeded in getting discretionary Council planning & maybe even building approval for a tiny house on wheels (a registerable vehicle), on land zoned ‘Rural’?

Not ‘Rural Living’

As either the Primary dwelling (no existing house), or a Secondary Dwelling (there’s an existing dwelling).

Multiple dwellings are prohibited in this specific zone.

If so, can we talk?

An interesting research project to follow,
with regard to tiny house innovation & DIY or flat-pack construction.

True story 🤔🙌🏽

Another of Dave’s blog posts goes into alternative ways of avoiding mortgage stress:

A tiny house on wheels, parked on leased land, is another alternative for smaller households.
