Queenslanders can now apply for a $25,000 grant to build or renovate their home under the Federal Government’s HomeBuilder initiative.
Treasurer and Minister for Infrastructure and Planning, Cameron Dick said the range of financial incentives available for home builders and renovators would help the Queensland Unite and Recover campaign to support local jobs.
“Queensland will be the first State on the Eastern Seaboard to open applications for HomeBuilder, for work that’s commenced since 4 June, or work that’s waiting to commence,” Mr Dick said.
“Queenslanders who build a new home, substantially renovate their home, or purchase an off-the-plan home such as a unit in an apartment complex or new home in a new estate being developed can now apply for the $25,000 grant.”
He said that even in these challenging times the construction sector continued to employ thousands of Queenslanders “and we’re backing our tradies and suppliers to keep building our economy”.
The Minister said that in addition to HomeBuilder, first home-owners in Queensland could receive the $15,000 Queensland First Home Owners’ Grant.
“For regional Queenslanders, our $5,000 Regional Home Building Boost is providing extra support to offset the cost of construction or purchase of a new house or apartment outside the South-East corner,” Mr Dick said.
“This means that new first home buyers in regional Queensland can access up to $45,000 in grants to help them achieve their property dream,” he said.
