Queensland Budget Delivers Homeownership Boost: What It Means for YOU!

Today, Queensland Treasurer David Janetzki unveiled a forward-looking budget with a strong focus on housing affordability—headlined by the launch of the “Boost to Buy” scheme for first home buyers.

From July 1, eligible Queenslanders will gain access to a shared ownership initiative designed to reduce the burden of rising property prices and large upfront deposits. Backed by a $165 million commitment, the program will support 1,000 successful applicants over the next two years, enabling home purchases with as little as a 2% deposit.

The scheme, which Mr Janetzki described as the most inclusive of its kind in Australia, sets income caps at $150,000 for singles and $225,000 for couples, with the government contributing up to 30% equity in new builds and 25% in existing homes, for properties valued up to $1 million. This initiative marks a substantial step forward in making homeownership more attainable across Queensland.
