hi Mike, first rule: always buy bigger than you need, you WILL buy more gear.
trailers come in standard sizes, stick with this as custom made will cost you a fortune, trailers are very cheap to make but this is not passed on in retail prices but having said that they really are not expensive, if you get a 4' x 7' with an added 30cm in height on the sides it should be reasonably priced, then a good quality tarp on top.
you obviously need mud guards by law but do not get a checkerplate floor, more expense, more weight and things will catch if you try to slide a heavy load onto the trailer. a jockey wheel and spare are necessities.
also get one that can take 15" rims and tyres, this will make it much easier to push when not connected to the car and increase tyre life when being towed. being in Vic not sure on your rego costs.
