One potential solution is to set up your Instant Expandable Home on a trailer, classified as a 'caravan' in Australia. This designation is due to its non-permanent fixtures and the lack of a slab foundation, exempting it from certain development approval processes. * with new NCC accessibility laws our homes do not meet the current guidelines We want to emphasise that the decision on how to set up your home is at your discretion. Our intention is to provide flexibility and options, and we encourage you to explore solutions that align with your local regulations.
