The My Home Network (MHN) in Mount Alexander Shire has a Tiny Homes On Wheels (THOW) working group that works to improve the appropriate uptake of THOW in our Shire on Djaara Country.

Nearly two years ago the Mount Alexander Shire Council amended the Local Law No 13 allowing a THOW to be placed and remain on land with an existing permanent dwelling, without a permit, for "an indefinite period of time". For further details of the local law conditions see: https://www.mountalexander.vic.gov.au/Council/Local-laws-permits-and-fines/Local-laws/Caravans-and-tiny-houses-on-wheels-on-private-property

We would love you to participate in this community survey to understand better:
  • the number of Tiny Homes On Wheels (THOW) currently being lived in or being built in our Shire
  • the level of interest in THOW as an affordable housing option in our Shire and
  • the benefits of THOW
  • any barriers to you living in a THOW and what supports you might need to make the transition, and sustain, a THOW arrangement in our Shire?
This anonymous information will be used in advocacy locally, statewide and nationally to improve appropriate uptake of THOW as affordable housing in our Shire and elsewhere.

Thanks, Best regards,
Kaz on behalf of the My Home Network Tiny Homes on Wheels working group.
