With social restrictions easing and normality on the horizon, it is welcome news that the Australian government has announced a building stimulus package that offers a $25,000 cash grant to prospective new home builds.

This new incentive aims to provide a boost to the building industry in light of the recent economic downturn due to the COVID19 crisis, with specific details regarding applicant eligibility including:

   ● A grant of $25,000 to eligible owner-occupiers (not just first home buyers) to build a new home or substantially where the build contract is entered into between today and December 31, 2020.
   ● Construction of a new home must be contracted to commence within three months of the build contract date.
   ● Income thresholds - consistent with the First Home Buyers Deposit Gap Scheme (FHBDGS) - of $125,000 for singles, or $200,000 for couples.
   ● A threshold of $750,000 for the value of the new home (including land)


This is an exciting incentive for the new home industry and will help get people into their new homes quicker and easier than ever before. To learn more and to find out if you're eligible, head to:
