Where can I park my Oculus?

In NSW, you can park up to 2 tiny homes on any land with an approved dwelling or DA. One can be used for full-time living, or two for short-term occupancy. A tiny home on wheels is exempt from Airbnb registration.

Does a Tiny Home require approval?

Generally, no. A tiny home is treated like a caravan. Councils vary in their approach, but if it's connected to services and placed appropriately, approval is usually not an issue.
