Tiny houses commonly utilize a combination of composting toilets and greywater treatment systems. These composting toilets separate liquid waste and convert solid waste into compost, operating without odors and conserving up to 35,000 liters of water annually. Additionally, greywater undergoes processing through filtration systems and grease traps, enabling reuse in gardens or safe release into the environment. It’s critical to consult with your local council for specific regulations concerning off-grid waste treatment.
When an iHouse tiny house is mounted on a trailer, it may transition from being classified as a dwelling to being viewed as a registrable caravan. Generally, parking caravans does not require Development Application (DA) approvals from councils like dwellings do. However, limitations may be placed by councils on how long one can continuously live in a caravan. These rules can vary between different councils and states. For the most current and precise regulations, contacting your local council is advised.
Relocatable tiny homes are not considered Class 1A Buildings and may not meet the building standards necessary for permanent residence or specific other uses. Before using a relocatable tiny home for anything other than its intended use as a transportable caravan or temporary dwelling, consulting with your local council is essential. This consultation ensures adherence to all relevant standards and regulations.
As a registrable caravan, the iHouse tiny house can be situated in designated fire and flood zones.
However, it’s essential to conduct thorough research to ensure that placing a tiny house is safe and suitable for your specific location.
It’s also crucial to be prepared for emergencies, including having a plan in place to swiftly relocate your unit if needed.
