The First Home and Housing Construction Grants (Budget 2013) Amendment Bill 2013 (SA) was introduced into the SA House of Assembly on 6 June 2013. It proposes legislative amendments to extend the Housing Construction Grant (HCG) for a further 6 months as announced in the SA Budget 2013-14. The extension of the HCG means that home-buyers who enter into contracts to purchase or build an eligible new home up to 31 December 2013 can receive the HCG of up to $8,500. All other existing criteria for the HCG remain unchanged.
