Melbourne's property market is among Australia's most challenging — and its tiny home community is among the country's most passionate. From the Dandenong Ranges to the Mornington Peninsula, the Yarra Valley to regional Victoria, tiny homes on wheels are finding their place as a genuine housing solution for Melburnians who refuse to be locked out of homeownership.

Ruru Tiny Homes is a Queensland-based builder that delivers premium tiny homes and secondary dwellings to Melbourne and regional Victoria. We build using Australian-sourced materials, by tradespeople paid above living wage, and deliver to your land anywhere in Victoria. Delivery is quoted based on your specific location.

Victoria's regulatory environment for tiny homes on wheels is more complex than Queensland's. Tiny homes are typically limited to 28-60 days on a property without planning permits, unless in specific pilot programs or on owner-occupied land with a primary dwelling. Longer-term arrangements generally require council approval. The rules vary significantly by council — some are highly supportive, others less so.

This is exactly why having in-house expertise matters. Daniel Huelsmeyer holds a Master of Laws with Distinction from the University of Auckland, with advanced expertise in planning frameworks and consent pathways. He can help you understand what's genuinely possible before you spend a cent.

Our six models start from $183,000 for the Wren and extend to the four-bedroom Cassowary and fully custom Bowerbird designs. All homes are turn-key and built to Australian standards. We're a family-led business with seven years of experience building homes people love — and we bring that same standard to every Melbourne delivery.
