Our Team
NZTHA’s team are volunteers dedicated to fostering innovation, promoting the growth of tiny houses in New Zealand, and to empower our members with information and resources they need to assist them while they are working with councils to apply for consent to live legally in tiny houses.
Management Committee
Founding Members
Rebecca McLean
Chairperson
Rebecca is passionate to help drive the Association movement forward with legislation change for Tiny homes in New Zealand and is actively meeting and educating Council around current Tiny challenges that Kiwis are facing. Her goal is to streamline Regional Council's messaging for the broader New Zealand.
Founding Members
Cassie Wright
Secretary
Cassie’s curiosity for minimalism and life-mantra of “there’s got to be a different way” pulled her into the world of tiny houses and alternative living solutions; and more recently, returning to study an Interior Design and Decorating diploma, in order to “learn the rules to then break them”.
Along with creating her own tiny house (likely on wheels first, and on foundations eventually), Cassie is keen to help the movement and community grow in NZ; and allow people to explore creative, sustainable, and fulfilling ways of living for themselves and their loved ones.
