Three month extension for construction commencement in Victoria

With the introduction of Stage 4 restrictions in metropolitan Melbourne (effective from 2 August 2020) and Stage 3 restrictions in regional Victoria (effective from 5 August 2020), the Commissioner of State Revenue is exercising his discretion under the National Partnership Agreement to extend the HomeBuilder Grant’s construction commencement requirement by 3 months.

 

This means that all applicants for the HomeBuilder Grant in Victoria now have 6 months to commence construction from when the eligible HomeBuilder contract is signed.

 

The Commissioner does not have discretion to grant any extensions beyond this additional 3-month extension.

 

Full details of this extension are available in the revised guidelines on the SRO website, which have also been updated to clarify the supporting documents required, including proof that your builder was registered or licensed prior to 4 June 2020.
