BUILDING BONUS GRANTS
912. Hon CHARLES SMITH to the minister representing the
Treasurer:
I refer to the McGowan government's
$20 000 grant to homebuyers who build new houses or purchase a new property in
a single-tier development prior to construction finishing.
(1) How many
international buyers have accessed this building bonus since 4 June 2020?
(2) How many
eastern states buyers have accessed this building bonus since 4 June 2020?
(3) What is the total amount thus far given in grants
to people or entities not domiciled in WA since 4 June 2020?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(3) The
answer to all three parts of the question is not readily available. To meet the
implementation time frame, the system for
processing the building bonus grants is being built in stages. The additional
reporting functionality to provide detailed information about grant
payments and recipients is scheduled to be operational in November 2020.
