Doorstop - Parliament House 26 May

Assistant Minister to the Prime Minister, Assistant Minister for the Public Service, Assistant Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations

JODIE BELYEA, MEMBER FOR DUNKLEY: I am here this morning to talk about first of all the new tax changes that we've got through the budget. We're going to see a capacity for more homes to be built with the incentives for investors. In the community of Dunkley housing is an issue. Recently, we've seen 1,837 first home buyers use the 5% deposit scheme, so that's been a great incentive for our community. We have also seen the redevelopment of 19 more social homes for the community. And in the budget we saw a $60 million investment into housing for those struggling with youth homelessness, that's thanks to the work of the Home Time Campaign.
