HomeBuilder is a new tax-free grant from the Federal Government, designed to stimulate the residential construction market in response to changing housing conditions caused by COVID-19.
The scheme supports new home builders and those undertaking substantial renovations to an existing home. If the contract is signed between 4 June and 31 December 2020, you can receive a $25,000 grant and if the contracts signed between 1 January and 31 March 2021, you can be eligible for the $15,000 grant.
Homebuilder is available to home owner-occupiers for a limited time only. Eligible building contracts must be signed between 4 June 2020 and 31 March 2021 and construction or renovation work must kick-off within six months of the signed contract date.
HomeBuilder can be accessed by all owner-occupiers (including first home buyers and established home buyers) provided the eligibility criteria is met. The one-off grant payment is not available for owner-builders or investment properties.
To receive the HomeBuilder grant, you’ll need to:
You may be asked for some of the following documents:
✔ Proof of identity
✔ A copy of the contract dated and signed by the applicant and the nominated registered or licensed builder;#
✔ A copy of the builder’s registration or license, depending on state or territory requirements;
✔ A copy of your 2018-19 tax return (or later) to illustrate your eligibility under the income cap
✔ Documents such as council development approvals, building contracts, occupation certificates and evidence of land value.
