#003 - Discover the challenges and considerations of tiny house living with Emmet Blackwell, a Strategic Town Planner from Western Australia who built and lived in tiny houses in the Byron Bay Hinterland of NSW, as well as renting his tiny house out on Airbnb for some extra income.

Today he’s still small space living on his own 40-acre property in WA, and currently living in a donga (a portable cabin) whilst working slowly on another tiny house on the side.

In this conversation, we talk about:

• Some of the challenges of building and living in a tiny house
• How Emmet was able to easily find a parking space for his tiny home in Byron Bay (including how he got around 30 offers in 48 hours!)
• The eco-community experiment in Victoria that Emmet was a part of (and why living in a community may not be for him)
• We touch on Australian Tiny House council regulations and building codes
• The composting toilet set-up that Emmet used
• And lots more!
