In short:

The NSW Land and Environment Court has ruled that a couple's caravan requires development consent under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act.

Bega Valley Shire Council has welcomed the ruling but says tiny homes can play a role in providing diverse housing options.

What's next?

The Australian Tiny House Association says the decision may have implications for all tiny home owners in NSW.
