Yes, Expandify homes can be used as primary residences on rural land, but compliance varies by local zoning laws. Considerations include: Minimum Lot Size Requirements , Some rural areas restrict secondary dwellings or require minimum land sizes. Council Approval Process , Some sites may need Development Approval (DA) rather than Complying Development (CDC). Utility Connections , Off-grid options such as solar power, septic systems, and rainwater tanks may be required. Environmental & Heritage Assessments , Some locations require environmental impact studies before approval. Expandify provides preliminary site assessments to check rural land compliance.
