Climate in Yeppoon
Yeppoon falls in Subtropical (Zone 2): warm humid summer, mild winter. We take local climate conditions into account, and the panelling can be selected to suit — 50 mm EPS (R = 1.315 m²K/W) is standard, with upgrades to 50 mm PU (R = 2.083), 75 mm PU (R = 3.125) or 50 mm Silica Rock (R = 1.25). For developed countries we recommend the Silica Rock panels.
Wind — Region B — Intermediate
Yeppoon is in AS/NZS 1170.2 Region B — Intermediate, a higher wind exposure region covering parts of the NSW north coast and southern Queensland coast (design wind speed V₅₀₀ ≈ 57 m/s). Confirm the tie-down and bracing your site needs with a local engineer or certifier. Everything we build must meet, or exceed, your country's building codes.
Bushfire (BAL) considerations
Bushfire risk is generally lower in this warm, humid region, but dry-season grass fires do occur and bush-edge lots can still be mapped as bushfire-prone. Check your council's bushfire-prone area map.
Getting a home from China to Yeppoon
Each expandable home ships from Shenzhen in a 40' high-cube container, and two homes fit in one container. The nearest major container port to Yeppoon is Port of Brisbane, about 680 km away by road. We recommend budgeting around USD $1,000–$2,500 for shipping to your nearest port — this does not include customs charges and import taxes. You must hire a customs broker in your country, who should also help with logistics from the port to your site.
Planning approval in Queensland
It's essential to engage with your local council to obtain all the necessary planning and building permits. Our guidance in this area is limited, but we can provide general advice to help your project comply with local regulations. Queensland's planning information is published on the Queensland Planning website.
