A PORTARLINGTON resident who believes in building a more sustainable future is looking for like-minded people to talk tiny.<\/p>\n
Diane Roberts wants to start a group that looks into the issues surrounding building tiny houses on the Bellarine.<\/p>\n
Tiny Houses are an affordable option to owning your own home for the intended purpose of permanent living \u2013 there is no mortgage, no personal debt and minimal stress.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s really hard for people, especially the younger ones, to get into the housing market,\u201d Ms Roberts said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd there is barely any public housing in Australia for people, besides unaffordable housing prices. Where are people meant to go?\u201d<\/p>\n
Ms Roberts said tiny houses would build a more sustainable future by cutting down on bills.<\/p>\n
\u201cElectricity bills are at their highest because people are building the biggest houses,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Ms Roberts said she was forming the group to investigate where on the Bellarine people could build their tiny homes, either on a trailer or slab, and what council regulations owners would face.<\/p>\n
\u201cCome and join a great group, exchange ideas and hopes and maybe even a new future,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Ms Roberts said she was hoping to hold the first meeting in January next year.<\/p>\n
