At MIRA Residential, one of the most common questions we hear is “Where can modular homes be installed in Western Australia?” The simple answer is: almost anywhere. But as with all building projects, there are a few important factors to consider.
Flexible Installation Across WA
One of the greatest advantages of modular homes is their versatility. Our homes can be transported and installed across metropolitan, regional, and remote areas of Western Australia. Whether it’s a coastal retreat, a rural lifestyle block, or a suburban family lot, modular living is designed to adapt.
That said, access is key. Delivery trucks and cranes need safe entry to the site, so steep blocks, narrow laneways, or tight battle-axe sites may require extra planning.
Council Approvals and Permits
Just like traditional builds, modular homes must meet local building requirements. This usually means:
-
Building permits – required before a home can be placed or assembled on your site.
-
Planning approvals – sometimes needed depending on the zoning and intended use of your block.
-
Utility connections – ensuring access to water, electricity (or off-grid solutions), and waste management.
Because each local government has its own policies, we always recommend engaging with your council early in the process. At MIRA Residential, we guide our clients through these steps to make the approvals journey as smooth as possible.
Zoning and Land Use
Modular homes can be installed on a wide range of sites, from residential lots in suburbs to rural and lifestyle blocks. Some councils in WA are now also introducing frameworks that make alternative dwellings—such as modular and tiny homes—more accessible, particularly in regional areas.
Every site is unique, and zoning rules can vary, so it’s important to confirm what’s possible for your land before moving forward.
