Federal Government Home Builder Deadline Extended

By Melissa Clarke  |  1 December 2020

The Federal Government has said it will allow applicants for the Federal HomeBuilder grant scheme a further three months, from March 2021 to June 2021, to commence construction.  This comes one month after the WA state government announced a six-month extension of the deadline for when construction can begin on new home builds, from June 2021 to December 2021, giving more people access to the $20,000 WA Building Bonus Grant.

The $25,000 government HomeBuilder grants are available for new home builds where the combined house and land value does not exceed $750,000. The grant is also available for renovations and knock-down rebuilds worth between $150,000 and $750,000, as long as the property’s existing value does not exceed $1.5 million. There are also income caps for the individual or couple applying.

WA Premier Mark McGowan said it was great to see the incentives boosting activity in the industry.

“The Building Bonus in particular has created a surge of activity and the benefits are flowing through to WA workers on building sites across the state,” he said.

Treasurer Ben Wyatt said “The latest figures for our Building Bonus and First Home Owner Grants and for Keystart loans demonstrate demand for building a home and buying an established home are at levels not seen in years”.

So far, the HomeBuilder extension has been well received by industry, with Master Builders Association of WA executive director John Gelavis calling the announcement great news for businesses throughout the sector.

Housing Industry Association executive director Cath Hart called the move ‘a common sense decision’ while also praising Mr McGowan’s support for a further extension HomeBuilder to align with the WA Building Bonus.

“This would mean that consumers have twelve months to start under both schemes and would reduce confusion among consumers and eliminate some of the pressure,” she said.

“HIA will continue making the case to the Federal Government on the need to align the start times for the schemes.”

With these new extensions in mind and land sales now 10 times greater than they were at the same time last year, what better time to find the perfect piece of land. Don’t delay, get in touch with us to find out how we can help you take the next step towards owning your own home.

How much does Christmas affect the economy?

By Inspiring Interns | December 2019

When you think of Christmas, you probably think of presents, family, and food. It’s probably quite unlikely that economics comes to the forefront of your mind. But perhaps it should. One of the biggest business implications of Christmas is economic – put more specifically, the massive increase in spending. Generally, Christmas is thought of as very beneficial to the country’s economy. Here’s how Christmas affects the economy.

A boost in production
In the months leading up to Christmas, there’s a huge increase in the need for manufacture. This is particularly prevalent in the toy industry, where the vast majority of sales happen in the lead up to Christmas.  In fact, a lot of the toy industry’s product development and timing is based around the Christmas period in order to maximize profits.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday
Once purely an American tradition, Black Friday and Cyber Monday have been gaining globally in recent years. The Friday and Monday following American Thanksgiving now make up one of the biggest shopping weekends in the calendar. Not only do people spend a lot at this time in the lead up to Christmas, but it’s essentially the biggest weekend for discounts in retail, too.

Temporary work
Many retailers and food and drink establishments require more staff to deal with the busier period in the lead up to Christmas. This is predominantly true for larger companies, who need to take on an abundance of staff to deal with online orders in particular. This leads to an economic boost, with businesses increasing their profits and temporary workers finding themselves with a little extra cash to spend.

Spending increases
What’s uniquely interesting about the Christmas period is that spending increases in pretty much every industry. Food and drink, consumer goods and homewares, plus entertainment all get a Christmas boost. Even industries like cinemas and pubs can reap the benefits of our spend-happy culture during this period.

Lessened productivity
Those who work in an office job will likely recognize the slowing down of productivity as Christmas approaches. The abundance of events and parties, alongside the increase in distractions and decrease in motivation, can mean that non-consumer based businesses can find December a bit of a struggle.

Christmas Day
The actual day of Christmas is one of the least economically important days of the year – most people don’t shop at all on this day. In fact, the majority of big businesses aren’t even permitted by law to open on Christmas day. There is a slightly increasing trend for afternoon online shopping for those who want to get in on the January sales early.

Boxing Day sales
Contrary to some expectations, the period immediately after Christmas doesn’t reflect a prompt drop in spending. This can be mostly attributed to the Boxing Day and January sales. Although these sales have taken a slight hit thanks to the growth of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, they are still some of the premier shopping events in the UK & Australia. Many take them as an opportunity to spend their Christmas money, or as a sort of “last hurrah” in terms of holiday excess.

January cutbacks
Post-Christmas, the vast majority of people experience a bit of metaphorical belt-tightening. The excesses of Christmas are over, and pretty much everyone has overstretched themselves. January is one of the lowest periods in terms of spending, as everyone beings reigning themselves in following the Christmas hysteria.

This year, Andrew Mackenzie, Paramount Private Estate Sales Manager, is hoping to make your Christmas even more special, by providing you with the opportunity to snatch up some prime reality here in Baldivis, just a short drive from the ocean.

Paramount is situated at the southern end of Baldivis Road and rises westward towards the ocean.  From its elevated position on the ocean-side, Paramount is destined to become Baldivis’ premier land development, with stunning views over bushland and to the hills.

It’s easy to imagine living in a beautiful new home that’s surrounded by parks and natural bushland, only a short distance from great schools, shopping centres and all your amenities.

Budget to Boost Housing Affordability

Treasurer Josh Frydenberg’s budget has been welcomed by the building and construction sector, with the Housing Industry Association saying, “its new initiatives will have a positive effect on housing affordability”, and the Master Builders Association saying, “it will promote economic growth.”

HIA chief economist Tim Reardon said “income tax cuts would provide a significant boost to housing affordability, combining with modest wage growth to increase households’ disposable income.”

“The combined impact will boost household consumption faster than an interest rate cut and assist in offsetting the credit squeeze,” he said.

“The improved fiscal outlook presented in the budget and these new measures should improve confidence among consumers when making home building and renovating decisions.”

Mr Reardon said the federal government’s increase in infrastructure spending would also play an important role in providing employment opportunities as the new home constructions sector cooled across the country.

“The increased incentives in training apprenticeships are significant and necessary as the industry has faced significant skills shortages over the past decade,” he said.

“These incentives more than double the existing federal government incentives over the term of an apprenticeship.”

The Master Builders Association backed the budget’s focus on small business, skills and infrastructure.

MBA national chief executive Denita Wawn said, “the government’s commitment to return the budget to surplus would boost confidence that the national economy was back on track, and provide builders with the incentive to invest, create jobs and hire more workers.”

“Master Builders welcomes the government’s announcements on new investment in skills, infrastructure and small business because they are targeted at what’s needed to strengthen the economy,” she said.

“The government deserves credit for heeding Master Builders’ call for the instant asset tax write-off scheme to be increased and expanded.

“Thousands of small business builders in communities around the country will benefit from the increase to $30,000, but more importantly the significant expansion of the eligibility threshold to $50 million annual turnovers.”

However, Ms Wawn said, “the MBA was nonetheless concerned about the government’s forecasts of a 7 per cent decline in housing investment across Australia.”

“This reinforces the need to ensure that all housing investment incentives remain intact,” she said.

CoreLogic head of research Tim Lawless said: “while Mr Frydenberg reiterated that housing affordability was a key priority for the government, there was very little in the budget directly focused on the sector.”

“It looks like the government is content to see housing affordability improve organically via lower housing prices that could act as a contagion to weaker household consumption and a sharper than expected fall in residential construction,” Mr Lawless said.

“While this may seem a bit passive, it’s clear housing affordability has improved substantially since the last budget due to lower housing values in the most expensive cities as well as the lowest mortgage rates since the 1960s and a subtle rise in incomes.”

Dan Wilkie – Business News

Andrew Mackenzie, Estate Sales Manager at Paramount Private Estate Baldivis said, “I’m very excited by this latest budget. The property sector in WA has been hit hard by the downturn and both families and businesses have been doing it tough.”

“By keeping interest rates the lowest they have ever been, reducing income and company tax, increasing the instant asset write-off to $30k for small business and funding more apprentices, we should see this trickle-down into the local, WA economy because of everyone benefits.”

“Plus, with property prices in Perth being the lowest they have been for a while, now’s the perfect time to buy. Buyers should head down to Paramount Private Estate and have a look at what’s on offer – Bigger, elevated blocks with views to the hills and very close to schools, shops, amenities, recreation and transport.”

Paramount Private Estate Baldivis — Construction Update October

Exciting news, the civil construction work is almost complete for Stage 1.

All the limestone retaining walls are now installed, structures are going up and the blocks are now defined. Some more good news!  Those interested in the home sites will be able to have access to the site in mid-October.

You can see from our updated drone footage how work is coming along as well as how the Paramount Private Estate is set up in the middle of a beautiful area that is easily assessable by the road. This is truly an impressive feat in creating these home sites while keeping to the highest levels of sustainable practices.  As part of our approach to sustainable development, we create home sites, services and spaces that are a natural reflection of their environment.

There are the various home site sizes available that will work with your choice of an apartment, villa, townhouse or house. In the near future, you will be able to either purchase a home site or speak with one of our builders and work with them to help create your new home.

As part of the construction process, Spatial Property Group and their partner Wormall Civil are undertaking a massive earthmoving program to develop the site.  In excess of 300,000m3 of sand is being transported locally with the approval and help from authorities such as City of Rockingham, Main Roads WA and Department of Transport to ensure the infrastructure being used will have little or no impact on the local Baldivis community and its surrounding environment.

Living in a beautiful new home surrounded by parks and natural bushland, a short distance from great schools, shopping centres, all your amenities, and a range of quick and easy transport options is Paramount. As is fishing, swimming, boating, bushwalking and picnics at some of Western Australia’s most beautiful beaches, only a short drive away from where you’ll be living.
