Rockhampton & Central Queensland
Class 1A certified, charred-timber homes built for the Central Queensland climate. The Forge 12 — from $149,000, on display in outer Rockhampton and delivered right across CQ.
If you're looking for a granny flat, secondary dwelling or compact home in Rockhampton, the biggest question isn't style — it's whether you can actually get it council-approved, insured and lived in. Most "tiny homes" can't, because they're built as caravans or on wheels.
The Forge 12 is certified NCC Class 1A — the same classification as a standard house — so it can be lodged for council approval as a secondary or primary dwelling, insured as residential property, and legally rented. It's clad in Shou Sugi Ban charred timber and engineered on a BlueScope steel frame to stand up to the Central Queensland climate.
Secondary dwellings in Rockhampton and Gracemere are assessed under Rockhampton Regional Council's planning scheme. Check current local requirements at the official Rockhampton Regional Council website, or ask us - we work with private certifiers on lodgement and supply the full certification pack with every home.

People searching for a small home in Rockhampton usually mean one of a few different things. A "tiny home" is often a caravan-style unit on wheels — not council-approvable as a dwelling. A "kit home" traditionally means a supplier ships you the components and you (or a builder) assemble it on site — the Forge 12 isn't that either. It arrives factory-built and complete, NCC Class 1A certified, ready to place on your Rockhampton block. Same compact footprint people are after, without the approval, insurance or finance problems that come with the caravan or self-assembly routes.
