As an economic response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Australian government has announced the HomeBuilder grant to eligible home owners and first home buyers to build a new home or substantially renovate an existing home.

This is great news for homeowners who are looking to build a new custom home and should consider this grant to offset the cost of their home building. You can also use this grant for major renovations and additions to your existing family home.
