NSW council threatens Manu's tiny home, potential homelessness

Manu faces potential homelessness after being ordered to demolish his tiny home in New South Wales due to planning regulations. The council's order stems from a lack of development approval for the dwelling. The tiny home, built on wheels after the Black Summer bushfires, provided Manu with affordable housing. The council's order threatens a fine of up to $1 million if the home isn't removed, leaving Manu without a place to live. Tiny homes are increasingly seen as an affordable housing solution, but regulations vary. Experts suggest updating policies to address the housing crisis and allow for alternative housing options like tiny homes.
