Once you’ve seen the houses, this is where the wider tiny-living world shows up. You’ll find builders and suppliers, but also the everyday things that make small living work better and feel nicer. Think practical systems, smart products, comfort upgrades, and a few “oh, that’s clever” finds you didn’t know you were looking for. Useful, interesting, and occasionally tempting.

This is the ideal starting point if tiny living is on your radar but your brain is already doing that thing where it spins off into twenty different “what ifs”. We’ll walk through the main tiny house pathways, the early decisions that genuinely matter, and the common myths that cause unnecessary stress. No jargon, no pressure, and no assumption that tiny living is the right answer for everyone, just a clearer starting point so you can move forward without feeling overwhelmed.

This talk dives into the real numbers behind tiny living, not just the build price, but the full picture. Site setup, transport, services, consents, connections, and the little extras that quietly add up. We’ll also cover common budget blowouts and how to avoid them. If you like knowing what you’re getting into before spending the money, this one’s for you.

If you’ve ever heard three completely different answers to the same council question, you’re not alone. This session breaks down what’s actually allowed, what’s changed, what hasn’t, and where people most often misunderstand the rules. We’ll also talk about how to approach councils in a way that’s constructive (and far less painful), so you can make informed decisions instead of relying on Facebook hearsay.

This is the talk that catches the things people often don’t think about until it’s too late. Transport logistics, site access, services, power, water, wastewater, and all the practical realities that sit between “house finished” and “house liveable”. It’s packed with real-world lessons and small details that make a big difference to how smoothly (or not) your tiny house journey goes.

This talk helps untangle one of the biggest sticking points in tiny living: choosing the right path. Tiny house on wheels? Small home on land? Granny flat? Something in between? We’ll break down the pros, cons, and trade-offs of each option, who they tend to work best for, and where people often get caught out. It’s less about “what’s best” and more about “what makes sense for you”.

This talk explores the different ways people find somewhere to live with their tiny house, from leasing land privately to joining tiny house villages or community-style setups. We’ll cover what to look for, what to ask, and what to be cautious about, along with the realities of agreements, expectations, and long-term stability. It’s a practical, realistic look at one of the biggest hurdles people face.

Once the novelty wears off and life settles in, tiny living becomes… well, normal. This session looks at what long-term tiny living really feels like, what people love, what surprises them, and what they’d do differently if starting again. We’ll talk about changing needs, solo living, relationships, ageing, and how tiny homes can adapt over time. Honest, reassuring, and very real.

This talk focuses on future-proofing your tiny home so it continues to work as your life changes. We’ll cover layout flexibility, storage, accessibility, and design decisions that make a home easier to live in long-term. It’s about building something that grows with you – not something you outgrow faster than expected.

Instagram rarely shows the middle bit, the part where tiny living becomes everyday life. This talk looks at what it’s actually like living tiny long-term, what people love, what surprises them, and what they’d do differently if starting again. We’ll talk about changing needs, ageing, relationships, and how tiny homes cope when life inevitably does its thing. Honest, reassuring, and deeply grounding.
