Yes — Expandify homes can be installed on bush blocks, semi-rural land, or tree-covered properties, provided council and engineering requirements are met.
Key considerations:
- Local councils often require vegetation management plans or clearance approval before installation
- Overhanging trees and bushland must be assessed during the Site Assessment phase to confirm crane access and site access
- Customers must check bushfire zoning and overlays — this is included in the Preliminary Site Feasibility Check (Prelim) stage.
Potential costs and issues:
- Tree removal, crane clearance, and vegetation access may increase site prep costs
- If the site is bushfire-prone, a BAL report is required and charged separately (not included in the Site Assessment)
- Some councils allow tree removal only after building approval is granted, which Expandify can support with documentation
