Get council approval support with Mr Cabins
Building without approval can leave you with fines, no insurance and even being forced to remove your cabin. Don’t risk it. At Mr Cabins, we offer a deposit-back guarantee if council approval isn’t achieved.
Our in-house team manages the whole process so your cabin is approved, compliant and ready to add value to your property. Speak to us today to get started on an Australian-compliant granny flat, studio or primary dwelling.
Yes, in most cases. Even small dwellings usually need tiny homes council approval, especially if fixed to a site or lived in permanently. In Victoria and Western Australia, cabins under 60sqm may not need council approval but still require a builder’s permit with full engineering drawings, which we organise through our partnered builders.
Yes. Most shipping container homes in NSW require council approval, particularly for permanent or semi-permanent dwellings. At Mr Cabins, we make the process easier by offering direct access to our approvals team, who manage the process in-house. We also offer a $350 preliminary assessment to check site suitability before you commit. If approval isn’t granted, we’ll refund your deposit. It’s all part of making the journey more straightforward from day one.
Our standard turnaround time is approximately 3 to 5 months from deposit to delivery, depending on your design and scope of customisation, along with the council process. We handle key stages in-house to keep things moving — from design finalisation through to fabrication and site coordination. You’ll receive a timeline before we begin, so you know what to expect.
