Fremantle councillor wants to launch 'tiny house movement' in Perth

A housing revolution could soon be coming to Perth but if you don't look closely enough, you might not see it.
The City of Fremantle is trying to become the first council in WA to introduce a "tiny house" policy which could see pint-size properties popping up over the port city.

And if Fremantle councillor Rachel Pemberton - who is the brains behind the policy - has her way, other councils across Perth will soon to adopting the idea.
Currently tiny houses don't conform to local government planning schemes or building codes, which mandate minimum house sizes and maximum number of houses per plot.

he tiny house movement is already making its way around the world and in the US tiny house villages have even popped up for the homeless.
Cr Pemberton said having smaller abodes would be a shift away from Perth's current obsession with McMansions.
And it's not only Perth which is obsessed with oversized properties, as Australia has the unenviable record for the biggest homes in the world - an average of 243 square metres, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics and Commsec.

But don't take your eyes off the little people you put in them, or you won't get the pot of gold.

Is the councillor another developer in their natural habitat, a representative of the people?

Out is she some jitter green who thinks this might actually be good for people, the economy, the environment and the local culture?

I don't care what size your house is, but I do know one thing; bigger houses are envied by some. If anyone is going to be envious of something, it is going to be a bigger house, not a smaller house.

Why is it an unenviable record to have the biggest homes in the world? Has the socialist mindset become so engrained that we cannot be proud of this?

Got a big house..?
Well get a decent intercom set up... Problem solved.

Also, for those who have land to develop subdivision is really beautiful stuff because one makes money from others who are prepared to pay more than I am ...
That's the way it is for some.
Newjerk? can you try harder than dig up another person's blog. My first promo was with Billabong and my name in English is modified with a T, am Perth born but also lived in Sydney to make my $$
It's Absolutely Fabulous if it includes brilliant locations, & high calibre tenants..what more does one want? Understand the power of the two "P"" or be financially challenged
Even better when there is family who are property mad and one is born in some entitlements.....Understand that beautiful women are the exhibitionists we crave attention, whilst hot blooded men are the voyeurs ... A stunning woman can command and takes pleasure in being noticed. Seems not too many understand what it means to hold and own props and get threatened by those who do.
Banks are considered to be law abiding and & rather boring places yeah not true . A bank balance sheet will show capital is dwarfed by their liabilities this means when a portions of loans is falling its problems for the bank.

Caravan parks have tiny houses. Just build more caravan parks and the houses will come.

Nothing to be embarrassed about for having a big house. Except of course if you have a big crap house, with crap foundations, crap fittings, crap finishings and crap design.

I would be willing to give up some size for a bit of quality in Aussie construction.

I'm sure the ladies will agree.

While I don't think I could live in a tiny tiny house (like some people have done in the states with custom built tiny houses on a trailer) I would definitely would love to be able to live in a small 1-2 bedroom terraced style house, kind of like one I grew up in when I was a kid in Freo.

Everyone says this until they are presented with a smaller house. Then they realise they want the good fittings and the extra space.

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
