Efficient Construction and Peace of Mind 

Benefit from an efficient construction process:

Government Initiatives: Supporting Your New Home Build 

The Australian Government has introduced several initiatives to make building new homes more attractive and accessible. These include: 

• Help to Buy Scheme: This scheme allows eligible buyers to co-purchase a home with the government, providing an equity contribution of up to 40% for new homes. This can significantly reduce the upfront costs for you. 

• Home Guarantee Scheme: This program helps eligible home buyers, including first-time buyers, single parents, and regional participants, to purchase a home sooner by providing a guarantee to lenders. 

• Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC): The CEFC provides finance for renewable energy and energy efficiency projects, which can benefit new sustainable home builds.

• Construction Certificates and Principal Certifying Authority (PCA): Once you have development consent for building work, you will need to obtain a Construction Certificate and have your work inspected by a PCA to ensure it meets regulatory requirements. 

In Lake Macquarie, New South Wales (NSW), the Lake Macquarie City Council is committed to increasing housing supply and supporting sustainable development:
