Planning your next step in Melbourne
A Melbourne building plan starts with the area you want to live in and the way you want the home to work. Compare the block’s requirements with the home design, and review inclusions before deciding on a builder.
Bring these questions to your conversation
- Which support is relevant to my circumstances?
- What is the complete budget, including costs outside the home price?
- When would any assistance become available?
- What needs to be confirmed before I commit to land or a building contract?
Your questions
Is stamp duty assistance the same as the grant?
No. Victoria’s first home buyer duty exemption or concession is a separate benefit with its own rules.
Do I need to include my partner’s circumstances?
Yes. Partner details can affect grant eligibility even when the partner is not on the title.
