Coffs Harbour Tiny Homes Expo
Coffs Harbour Tiny Homes Expo 2026 is an industry event for the tiny home sector, held from September 18 – 20, 2026, at the Coffs Harbour Showground in Coffs Harbour, NSW, Australia. The event is part of a touring series organized by Tiny Home Expos. This series delivers "Inspiration, Innovation & Real-World Solutions" to attendees across Australia. In 2026, other events in the series are scheduled in locations such as Hawkesbury, New South Wales; Caloundra and Cleveland, Queensland; Bendigo, Victoria; and Perth, Western Australia. The organizer states that events operate in NSW, VIC, QLD, and WA, with plans for additional events in other states. The Adelaide event is currently on an occasional schedule due to the number of builders in that state.
The expo showcases businesses involved in the construction and provision of various compact and modular living solutions. Exhibitor categories include builders of tiny homes, modular homes, container homes, cabins, granny flats, portable homes, and domes. Solutions for AirBNB are also presented. Beyond structures, the event features related building products and services. These encompass solar power, alternative and off-grid solutions, and other tiny house-themed products. The expo also includes workshops, market stalls, and concepts related to sustainable living, aiming to facilitate networking within the tiny home industry. A final list of exhibitors is not provided in advance as exhibitors are still onboarding; however, a magazine containing details of all exhibitors is distributed to visitors upon entry at the gate. Exhibitor information, along with other event updates, is also shared on the event's Facebook page.
A key component of the Coffs Harbour Tiny Homes Expo 2026 is its speaker programme. Throughout the event, specialist individuals deliver talks in the main marquee. Presentations and Question & Answer sessions focus on off-grid solutions, addressing inquiries about topics such as toilets, solar panel requirements, grey water management, and land availability, including options for renting land. Speakers also cover common questions related to regulations, associations, and energy. Q&A panels are a recurring feature, providing detailed information and addressing frequently asked questions from visitors. These sessions delve into legal aspects, council permissions, backyard placement rules, towing dimensions, weight restrictions, and the classification of tiny homes (e.g., as caravans). The event program notes that there are fewer speakers on Friday compared to Saturday and Sunday. Additional MySelfReliance Talks are specific to the Sydney and Brisbane expos and are not part of the Coffs Harbour programme.
