BUILDING
BONUS GRANTS
1038. Hon WILSON TUCKER to the Minister for Finance:
I refer the minister to the building bonus scheme announced
on 7 June 2020, which provided eligible applicants with a grant of $20 000
towards the cost of either building a new house or purchasing a property in a single-tier
development already under construction.
(1) How many
grants were issued under this scheme during the period of its existence?
(2) How many
of these grants were used toward the construction of a new house or purchase of
a property with a sale price or property value of —
(a) less than
$500 000;
(b) more than
$500 000 but less than $1 million;
(c) more than
$1 million but less than $2 million; and
(d) more than
$2 million?
(3) What was
the highest sale price or property value for which a grant was used?
(4) Under this
scheme, could an applicant receive a grant on multiple occasions via separate
transactions?
(5) If yes to
(4), how many applicants received a grant on —
(a) more than
one occasion;
(b) more than
three occasions; and
(c) more than
five occasions?
(6) If yes to
(4), what was the highest number of grants issued to one applicant?
(7) How many
grants were issued to an applicant without Australian citizenship?
The PRESIDENT : Minister, can you attempt to answer
that rather long question seeking a lot of data?
