Backing on to a peaceful parkside sanctuary, residents will always have their daily fix of the outdoors, as well as the neighbouring Spring Valley Park and Keysborough Community Park.

The revitalisation of the Greater Dandenong has continued to transform the region, adding a strong incentive to invest.

In 2006, the Victorian Government pledged $290 million to this renewal over the next 20 years to 2026, which will leverage $18 billion in private sector development, create 5,000 new jobs and 4,000 new homes.

Helping Australians get into a home of their own and supporting tradies’ jobs are both key priorities for the as we build a comeback from the COVID-19 recession, according to the Morrison Government

The Treasury's latest figures released today show, that as at 31 December 2020, over 75,000 households have applied for a HomeBuilder grant, with 80 per cent of applications to construct a new home.

Tradies and home buyers in every state and territory has benefitted from these HomeBuilder applications;

</figcaption></figure>As a key driver of our comeback, the Treasury estimates that HomeBuilder will now support up to $18 billion of residential construction projects.

HomeBuilder was designed immediately to inject confidence and encourage buyers back into the market to offset the devastating effects of the pandemic on the residential construction industry.

On all counts HomeBuilder has achieved this objective and kept hundreds of thousands of tradies in work who would have otherwise been facing the unemployment queue.

To maintain this momentum in Australia’s economic comeback, the Morrison Government has announced HomeBuilder will be extended until 31 March 2021.

For all new build contracts signed between 1 January 2021 and 31 March 2021:

</ul>

The property developer, Peter Icklow, chief executive of Monarch Investments, said real estate would be adversely affected by any GST hike.
"It's going to whack another $50,000 on every new home," he told The Australian Financial Review.
It follows debate over lifting the GST to 15%.
NSW Premier Mike Baird says he was willing to talk about the issue. 
Under the current rules, new homes are subject to the GST, which adds roughly 10% to the price, but buyers of established homes pay nothing.
The Urban Development Institute of Australia says at the current GST rate of 10%, a new home sold at Australia's median dwelling price of $571,500 included a GST component of $51,955.
A white paper on tax reform will be released by the end of the year.
