Construction pursuant to the contract must commence within three months of the contract date. States may exercise discretion where commencement is delayed beyond three months from the contract date due to unforeseen factors outside the control of the parties to the contract (e.g. delays in building approvals). Where this occurs, States will have discretion to extend the construction deadline by up to three months. Owner-builders are not eligible for Aboriginal Affairs HomeBuilder. With regards to the definition of an owner‑builder, this is intended to mean a person who takes responsibility for domestic building work carried out on their own land/property. Investment properties are not eligible under HomeBuilder. Construction must be undertaken by a registered or licensed building service 'contractor' who is named as a builder on the building licence or permit. In negotiating the contract, the parties must deal with each other at arm’s length. This means the contract must be made by two parties freely and Minister independently of each other, and without some special relationship, such as being a relative. The terms of the contract should be commercially reasonable and the contract price should not be inflated compared to the fair market price. HomeBuilder is non-taxable in the hands of the owner-occupier, consistent with existing First Home Owner Grant programs. Applications must be submitted to the relevant State or Territory authority by no later than 31 December 2020. The Commonwealth will have the discretion to extend the application deadline. HomeBuilder payments will be made to eligible applicants at the following times: for Workforce Training / / 2020new builds (including off-the-plan dwellings): the grant will be paid to align with the timing of grant payments as currently applies for existing First Home Owner Grant schemes in jurisdictions, or at the discretion of the jurisdiction where there is no First Home Owner Grant scheme in place; or for substantial renovations: once at least $150,000 of the contract price has been paid.
