Tiny homes project awaits start in Gosford

The Tiny Homes Foundation will wait until it has started an affordable housing project in Gosford before looking at a similar project on the Peninsula.

The former Gosford Council entered into an arrangement with the Tiny Homes Foundation in October to lease land to the group subject to conditions including development consent.

Vacant land in Neera Rd, Umina, was earmarked as a potential site for a Tiny Homes project on the Peninsula.

Another parcel of land in West Gosford was also located as a potential site for an affordable housing project.

CEO and co-founder of the Tiny Homes Foundation, Mr David Wooldridge, said the group had an approved development application for the Gosford project but still has work to do with the certifier on the final construction specifications.

"We are finalising commencement of Gosford before commencing Umina," Mr Wooldridge said.

"Being a revolutionary concept to provide Australia's first approved multi tiny home solution for homelessness with tenant equity participation there has been a lot of work to get it right and replicable," he said.

Mr Wooldridge said commencement of the Gosford project is still some months away and no plans are in place at this stage to lodge a development application for the Umina site.

At the time the agreement was made between Gosford Council and the Tiny Homes Foundation, former councillor Ms Gabby Bowles said that community consultation would be a major part of ensuring the project provided the correct outcomes for all stakeholders.
