Council Approvals & On-Site Installation
At Deluxe Tiny Homes, we don’t just build beautiful, functional container homes – we make the entire process seamless from start to finish. One of the biggest challenges customers face is navigating local council requirements and organising the site install. That’s where we step in.
Helping You Through Council & Certification
We understand that dealing with local councils and regulations can feel overwhelming. That’s why we offer a full support service to help you meet all necessary legal requirements, whether you’re placing your tiny home in a backyard, on rural land, or in a residential zone.
Use Our Certifier to Obtain Your Permit
We work with a fully accredited private certifier who understands the specific requirements for container homes. Our team will:
-
​Assess your site and proposed home layout
-
​Prepare the necessary documentation
-
Submit the application on your behalf
-
Liaise with council and regulatory bodies
-
Ensure your home meets all compliance and safety standards
Our goal is to take the stress off your shoulders and streamline the approval process.
Planning Permit Exemptions
In many cases, container homes may qualify for planning permit exemptions, especially for temporary or secondary dwellings. We can help you:
-
​Determine whether your site and use qualify
-
​Prepare exemption submissions
-
Maximise your chances of fast approval
We’ll advise you honestly and clearly about what’s required and work to find the simplest path forward.
Complete On-Site Installation Service
​Once your approvals are in place, we’ll take care of everything involved in getting your container home delivered and fully functional on your property. Our experienced team handles:
Delivery
We’ll coordinate and manage the safe transport of your container home to your property, including access checks and logistics.
Plumbing
We install all necessary plumbing connections for kitchens, bathrooms, and laundries, including waste water and stormwater connections where needed.
Footings & Setup
We’ll install engineered footings suitable for your site conditions (whether slab, stump, or screw pile) and ensure your home is properly levelled and secured.
Electrical
Our licensed electricians will install and connect all electrical services including lights, power points, switchboard, and appliance hookups.
​We aim to have your container home fully installed and move-in ready with minimal disruption to your property and schedule.
