Start with the questions that matter

A better first conversation starts with a better checklist

A block can look perfect and still have unanswered questions around occupancy, access, connections or total cost. The guide helps you find those questions early, while they are still easy to solve.

  1. 01

    Know what to ask your council

    Use a copy-and-paste enquiry script and record the answers that apply to your address, zone and intended use.

  2. 02

    Spot access issues early

    Check the street approach, narrow points, turns, slope, overhead obstacles and the likely position of the home.

  3. 03

    Map services and true project costs

    Work through power, water, waste, site works and the cost lines that sit outside the base home price.

  4. 04

    Work out your next useful step

    Score the project's readiness and build a simple property pack for a more productive first conversation.

No blanket promises. Just a clearer path forward.

Whether a movable dwelling can be placed and occupied on a property depends on the address, council, zone, intended use and service arrangements. The guide does not pretend otherwise. It gives you the exact questions to ask so you can get a real answer before you commit.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Is the guide free?

Yes. It is a free, digitally fillable PDF and takes around 15 minutes to work through.

Will it tell me whether council approval is guaranteed?

No. No guide or builder can give a blanket answer for every property. It helps you ask the right questions and record the advice that applies to your address.

Do I need to know which model I want?

No. The guide starts with the property and intended use, then helps you identify which footprint may deserve a closer look.

Can MicroHomes review my property?

Yes. Once you have the address, intended use and a few useful photos, the team can have a much more specific first conversation with you.
