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.

Huge task ahead to achieve 30,000 homes by 2030
“Building approvals data released today highlights the magnitude of the task ahead if we are to achieve the Government’s target of building 30,000 homes in the ACT over the next five years,” said Geordan Murray, acting HIA Executive Director ACT and Southern NSW.
$10,000 incentive for home building apprentices provides a timely boost
“Today marks the beginning of the Key Apprentice Program which will provide new commencing apprentices working in residential building trades with financial incentives totalling $10,000,” said Steven Wojtkiw, HIA Deputy Executive Director, Victoria.
