The Melbourne Home Show runs from 21 to 23 August at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, and this one is on home ground.
Our offices are in Melbourne. It is where the pods are designed and where the team sits, even though we deliver across Australia and New Zealand. If you have been following the range online, or you have seen a pod at Bunnings and wanted a proper look, this is the one to come to.
Where We Have Been This Year
We have been to Sydney, Perth and many more cities with the Home Show.
Matt Decarne has been a presenter on panel, alongside industry peers, on where modular construction fits in the housing affordability crisis conversation.
The pattern held across the Home Shows. Landowners planning short-stay accommodation. Families weighing up a granny flat. Couples needing somewhere to live while the main house is being built. Different starting points, and the same handful of questions about permits, timelines and what a pod actually costs to put on the ground.
Matt Is Presenting in Melbourne
Matt Decarne, our CEO and Co-Founder, is presenting at the Melbourne Home Show as well.
- When: Saturday , 22nd August 2026
- Time: 1pm
- Where: Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre
If you have a site in mind and you are not sure what is possible on it, this is worth timing your visit around. The talks tend to cover the things people only discover halfway through a build. From the design to delivery, Matt will cover everything and if you still have questions, our team will be available to guide you on site.
Win a 4m Micro Home
Every visitor to the 2026 Home Show events can enter our giveaway to win a 4m micro home valued at more than $68,000.
The 4m is a turnkey ensuited studio, 4m long by 2.4m wide, with a full electrical package, split system air conditioning, insulation through the walls, ceiling and floor, and a 1m x 2.4m bathroom with shower, toilet and vanity. It works as a backyard ensuited bedroom, a creative space, a pool house or a teenager's retreat.
Here is how to enter:
- Attend any of the 2026 Home Show events.
- Visit the Elsewhere Pods stand.
- Fill in the entry form.
- The winner will be announced live at the final Home Show in Perth.
Come and Stand Inside One
Floor area is an abstract number until you are standing in it. A 4m micro home is 9.6sqm. On paper that sounds tight. In person, with full height glazing and the door open, most people are surprised by how it reads.
That is the reason we keep doing shows. Photography and a configurator will only take a decision so far. Ten minutes inside a pod settles questions that a fortnight of research does not.
The team will be on the stand across all three days to talk through sizes, layouts, finishes, permit pathways and what your specific site would need.
Next Stop, Sydney
The Sydney Home Show, from 9 to 11 October, is the last show on our calendar this year. It is also where we will announce the giveaway winner.
We will be there for all three days. After a year of Brisbane, Perth and Melbourne, we are looking forward to finishing it in Sydney and meeting everyone who has been following along.
