HIA has been advocating strongly for this program as a much-needed boost to stimulate the home building industry, increase supply of housing, and provide new incentive for home ownership.
HIA welcomes the CLP Government’s prompt action in announcing this program as the first order of business, and the opening of applications starting on Tuesday 1 October.
The HomeGrown Territory program also includes a FreshStart New Home Grant of $30,000 for non-first home buyers who may have already owned a property before, to purchase or build a new home.
The scheme is the first of its kind and will help stimulate new home construction, encourage people to move to the Territory, and increase critically low supply of housing across the Northern Territory.
Importantly for long term growth of the industry, the program will help retain the residential building workforce and encourage growth through new apprenticeship and training opportunities in an invigorated housing market.
“Home renovation activity nears record high, boosted by rising home prices and low unemployment,” stated Tim Reardon, HIA Chief Economist.
“Today is a great day for the housing industry in NSW with passage of the Planning System Reforms Bill 2025 through parliament,” said Brad Armitage, HIA NSW Executive Director.
Starting 1 July 2026, domestic building insurance (DBI) will only be available through the Building and Plumbing Commission (BPC), which has replaced the VMIA in providing this product.
This morning, HIA, including members of the Tasmanian Regional Executive Committee (REC), met with the Chair and a Director of the Homes Tasmania Board to discuss several matters critical to the future of housing delivery in Tasmania.
