Phae Barrett is a Co-Founder and Co-Organiser of the Tiny Homes Expo, Australia’s largest Tiny House events.
Want to live in a tiny home? Do you have spare space on your land for a tiny house tenant? Then get yourself to an Expo!
You can walk through many different tiny homes, meet tiny house builders and other aligning businesses, and learn lots about tiny house living through the experienced speakers and experts in the Australian tiny house space on topics such as…
Off-grid solar, composting toilets, greywater systems, tiny parking. tiny towing, tiny insurance, tiny finance, and more.
In this conversation, we talked about:
- The evolution of the Tiny Homes Expo from the first show until now
- Phae’s view on why it’s so complicated and a long process for tiny houses on wheels to have clear guidelines and regulations across the board
- Lots and lots of council talk including some behind-the-scenes that Phae shares about her dealings with some councils
- How you can advocate for tiny homes in your local area and community
- Some positive stories about people living in tiny homes and how it has literally changed their lives… and lots more!
