On 4 June 2020 the Australian 黑料正能量 introduced the HomeBuilder grant - a $25,000 grant for Australians who carry out substantial renovations to their existing home or build a new home. The contract was required to be signed between 4 June 2020 and 31 December 2020 with construction commencing within three months of the contract being signed.
On 29 November 2020, the grant scheme was extended, providing grants of $15,000 for contracts signed between 1 January 2021 and 31 March 2021. At that time, the construction commencement timeframe was extended to six months and the application closing date was extended to 14 April 2021.
