For Victorians
From Dec 1st 2023 – The Victorian government introduced sweeping reforms that will eliminate the need for a planning permit for Tiny homes & granny flats on your property.
The Victorian government has announced the move, effective from December 1st 2023, which specifically applies to properties larger than 300 square meters and the Tiny home must be smaller than 60 sq metres.
With Dongaroo Tiny homes being Only 35 sq metres – we offer 1 & 2 bedroom options, theres not a better time than now to contact us for a complimentary quote.
Our tiny container homes are 35sq metres (19 feet x 20 feet) & come equipped with a range of amenities such as a spacious living room area, kitchen area complete with L-shaped cabinets, 1 – 2 bedrooms & an ensuite shower room fully equipped.
Additional features, such as hot and cold water inlets, two waste outlets, gas struts, 5 LED light fittings and silent exhaust fan vent in the ensuite, ensure you have all the comforts of modern living. Our Tiny homes come with 4 power sockets all Australian standard.
Please note we recommend engaging a licensed electrician to set up your desired setup according to regulations as well as a fully qualified plumber. Installation comes with a full manual to construct, which we roughly estimate takes 3-5 workers around 1-2 days to install the expandable container home. Dongaroo tiny homes do not provide any of these services.
