Australian court rejects demolition over caravan garage height dispute
Original source: Lander & Rogers

The Supreme Court of Victoria ruled that demolition and rebuilding are not proportionate damages even when a builder breaches contract. In Stanley v EWH Constructions West Pty Ltd [2025] VSC 699, the garage floor was built lower than specified, preventing the owners from moving their caravan through it. Rectification costs exceeded A$650,000, but the garage remained structurally sound and functional for ordinary vehicles. The court found the cost disproportionate and remitted the case for assessment of loss of amenity and caravan storage costs.

Bozcaada municipality begins demolition of illegal tiny houses

The municipality of Bozcaada, Turkey, has started demolishing illegally placed tiny houses on agricultural land. Owners have been sent notices, with fines and legal action to follow if structures are not removed within 30 days. The dispute dates back to 2021 when a court overturned a ban on their entry, classifying them as licensed vehicles.

San Francisco's RV enforcement faces immediate problems

San Francisco's new crackdown on RV encampments encountered operational issues on its first day of enforcement. The city towed vehicles from some homeless residents who were unable to obtain permits, while data shows discrepancies in the permit distribution process. The program, launched in June, offers temporary permits in exchange for accepting housing, but enforcement began on November 1st.

Free Australian campsites shift to paid model

Thousands of free campsites in Australia are transitioning to a pay-to-stay model, threatening the grey nomad lifestyle. Adventurer 'Outback Mike' Atkinson says finding free spots is increasingly difficult, especially on the NSW east coast. He advises against sharing favorite locations on social media to prevent overcrowding and degradation. State governments are responding by introducing fees for national park camping, as in Victoria, and trialing new booking systems in Western Australia.

Electric camper and round-Australia trip

Clive Attwater and his partner Sue have embarked on a round-Australia trip in an electric camper based on the Farizon SV van. The couple plans to follow a figure-eight route starting from Hobart, passing through Victoria, South Australia, Alice Springs, Darwin, Western Australia, the Nullarbor, Townsville, and the east coast. The camper is equipped with solar panels, a domestic battery, and a fully electric kitchen. The trip aims to demonstrate the feasibility of long-distance electric travel and to inform campground operators about preparing for electric vehicle charging. The cargo van costs between €43,000 and €49,000, with conversion adding €18,000 to €30,500.
