Discovering the Perfect Plot for Your Tiny Home on Wheels


Finding the ideal location to park your tiny home on wheels is a crucial step in your journey towards embracing the tiny living lifestyle. It’s just as important as selecting the right tiny house builder, designing your dream home, and securing financing. For many, this can seem like a daunting task, especially if you don’t have a friend or family member with available property.

The Silver Lining

Many people park their tiny homes in a family member’s backyard, provided there is enough space. Multi-generational living is on the rise, bringing families closer together and sharing the cost of living and responsibilities such as childcare, paying the mortgage, and managing the garden.

The good news is that Australia has an abundance of land that is ideal for parking a tiny home on wheels. More people are successfully finding land and turning their tiny home dreams into reality. Your journey could start as simply as discussing your plans with family or friends, which is often the best place to begin. But what if you don’t know anyone in the area where you want to live?

We recommend securing your land before ordering your tiny home build as It typically takes us up to 8-12 weeks to complete a build and have it ready for delivery.

Navigating Your Options

Even though there’s a vast amount of unused or under-used land across Australia, finding a suitable spot near popular urban centres can be challenging. Local council regulations add another layer of complexity, making it important to check for any restrictions before settling on a location. The decision to purchase or rent land depends on your personal finances and individual circumstances.

Securing Land to Purchase

Purchasing land offers more security and privacy but requires a significant upfront investment. Here are some options for finding land to buy:

Renting Land: A Flexible Alternative

Renting land is the most adaptable and affordable way to live in a tiny home on wheels. You can move your home as your life or opportunities change or when you find land to own. Here are some strategies to find land to rent:

Approaching Landowners: Making a Connection

Establishing a positive relationship with your potential landlord from the outset can greatly impact the success of your tiny home project. Share a picture of your tiny house, describe your situation, outline how long you’d like to stay, and provide a proposed rental range.

Ensuring Easy Access

Good access for transporting a tiny house on wheels is crucial. Tinyhome QLD delivers tiny homes to locations all over Australia, including tight spots, steep driveways, and through dense forests. As a minimum, the access road to your tiny house site needs to be 3m wide with 4.3m high clearance. Overhanging trees will need to be trimmed back. You’ll also need a clearing with a flat level area to park your tiny house. While a concrete slab is nice to have, it’s not required. You can use concrete pads or compacted crusher dust/road base to support the stabilising landing legs under your house.

Found Your Perfect Spot?

As part of our sales process, we offer site inspections to assess the delivery route to ensure your tiny house site is viable for delivery.

Drafting a Rental Lease Agreement

We encourage tiny house owners to treat land rental with the same care as a standard rental lease agreement. Include the following details:
