Building a new house in Mackay got just that little bit easier this week with the Queensland Government announcing a $267 million building stimulus.
Mackay builders and their tradesmen will benefit from the extra boost but so will new home builders, adding another $5,000 to the kitty when they build a home in Mackay.
The grant package announced this week includes a reaffirmed commitment to the $15,000 first home-owner grants program for any Queensland first home buyers purchasing a new home valued at less than $750,000. In addition, there is an additional $5,000 grant for buyers of a new home (with the home being owner occupied and valued up to $750,000) in a regional location.
The program is touted as supporting 240 jobs in construction and delivering social housing across the regions, including Mackay.
As it stands now, first home buyers can access a total of $45,000 ($25,000 from the Federal Government and $20,000 from the State Government) when building their first home.
Mackay Builders can now help first home-buyers access $45,000 worth of grants to get them started.
