Coffs Harbour Jetty Container — Coffs Harbour Jetty Café — 20 ft container.
Looking for container homes Coffs Harbour with real local build — not just a map pin on a national brochure? Container Build Group already has built work in Coffs: a jetty café on the waterfront and a multi-container family home for a Coffs owner.
I am Jamie from Container Build Group. We design and manufacture shipping-container homes, granny flats and commercial modules at 39 Habib Drive, South Lismore, then deliver them along the Mid North Coast and Australia-wide. Coffs is close enough that delivery planning feels local, with fabrication still done under cover in our factory.
Real Coffs Harbour projects
Coffs Harbour Jetty Café
Our Coffs Harbour Jetty Container – 20 Ft is a coastal café build at the jetty. It’s a 20 ft new high-cube container with external batons and an eco deck, a marine upgrade for salt spray, a marine stainless interior, and dual tilt-up gas-strut panels with safety lock-in bars. Custom cabinetry and benching were built to the client’s brief. The unit was pre-built so onsite setup stayed minimal.
That café is useful if your Coffs brief is hospitality — or if you simply want to see how we detail a module for Mid North Coast weather before you commit to a home.

The Wolverine — Coffs Harbour home
The Wolverine is named after the owner in Coffs Harbour. It is made from 4 × 20 ft containers plus a conventional garage, open-plan with plenty of glass, and rated 6 stars for energy on the project page. Container units including the kitchen were constructed in our factory and completed within 3 weeks; a local building team can take the install to lockup in weeks.
The Wolverine — 4 × 20 ft.
Together, the jetty café and Wolverine show both commercial and residential container work already sitting in Coffs Harbour.

Coastal sites and council notes
Coffs blocks often sit near salt air, wind and bushfire overlays. We can build to any cyclone rating up to C4, engineered to suit your site and your certifier’s requirements. The jetty café’s marine upgrade is an example of how we harden a coastal commercial module when the brief asks for it — residential jobs get the same straight conversation about coatings, hardware and glazing for exposed sites.
Each council has its own DA / CDC pathway. We prepare documentation as part of our complete service; council fees and specialist reports remain client-side. Bring any pre-lodgement notes, survey and access photos early so the factory layout matches what your pathway allows.
Delivery from South Lismore
Fabrication stays in Lismore; trucks run south to Coffs on a short Mid North Coast corridor. Delivery is always extra and quoted to your address, so ask for a Coffs quote with your crane and street-access plan. Licensed builders we work with can handle groundworks and install; many homes use steel posts or footings rather than a full slab where the engineer agrees.
If your brief mixes a dwelling with a café, site office or amenities module, we can quote both from the same factory so finishes and programmes align. See also our pop-up shop containers hub and commercial kitchen pages when hospitality is part of the job.
What to send for a first Coffs quote
- Block address and truck / crane access notes
- Survey or contour information if available
- Preferred beds / baths and primary vs secondary dwelling
- Grid vs off-grid preference
- Target programme window
- Any council pre-lodgement advice
