FACT SHEET First Home Owner Grant Amendment Bill 2019 On 12 May 2019, the Government announced that the First Home Owner Grant of $20 000 would be extended to 30 June 2020. This Bill amends the First Home Owner Grant Act 2000 to extend the Grant for eligible first home buyers of newly constructed homes, those who have new homes constructed, and owner builders from 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020 inclusive. The Grant is currently at $20 000 but is due to revert to $10 000 on 1 July 2019. These amendments will extend the FHOG at $20 000 for a further 12 months. This measure will make it more affordable for first home buyers to build and will increase activity in the building industry. Page 1 of 1
