• Income thresholds – consistent with the First Home Buyers Deposit Gap Scheme (FHBDGS) – of $125,000 for singles, or $200,000 for couples.

• A threshold of $750,000 for the value of the new home (including land) – again consistent with the FHBDGS.

• Revenue offices at the state and territory level to administer the scheme.

This is an exciting development for the new home industry and will help get people into their new homes quicker and easier than ever before.

Kinbrook has Titled land as well as house and land packages now available at prices below the $750,000 eligibility limit.

$25,000 STIMULUS PACKAGES TO BE AVAILABLE WITH NEW HOME BUILDS.

It is welcome news that the Australian government has announced a building stimulus package that offers a $25,000 cash grant to prospective new home builds at projects such as Kinbrook.

This new incentive aims to provide a boost to the new home industry in light of the recent economic downturn due to the COVID19 crisis, with specific details regarding applicant eligibility including:

• A grant of $25,000 to eligible owner-occupiers (not just first home buyers) to build a new home where the contract is entered into between today and December 31, 2020.

• Construction of a new home must be contracted to commence within three months of the contract date.

BUILDING YOUR COMMUNITY

Construction has been running smoothly at Kinbrook over autumn and is looking to meet all scheduled deadlines throughout winter.

All major construction and landscaping works are on schedule and advancing quickly in Stages 17 and 18.

Despite the heavy rainfall we received in Autumn, Stage 17 is progressing well and scheduled to be completed by August, with Titles in September.

Stage 18 is also well underway and on track with all roadworks now complete and Titles expected in October.

When Vikki Anderson was in the market looking to purchase a smaller home, she found Kinbrook was the perfect fit.

Where great location meets nature and tranquillity, Kinbrook had it all for Vikki including her daughter and future son-in-law who already owned land in the community.

"Walking through the estate for the first time, I remember thinking it was so clean and compact, it was amazing," Vikki said.

“I was really encouraged by that to purchase because I knew I wanted to live somewhere that felt homely and safe".

Construction & Titles Update

At Kinbrook, we have partnered with Neighbourhood Watch as part of their “Building Communities Together” program. This program aims to encourage social connections and educate residents about the simple things you can do to keep your community safe.

Neighbourhood Watch is a community-led crime prevention organisation that has been supporting communities for over 35 years.

During COVID-19, staying connected with your neighbours can make isolation seem less lonely for many in the community. It is also a great way to look after our mental health and wellbeing.

To stay connected while social distancing, Neighbourhood Watch has a few suggestions.

• Say hello and wave – a small gesture can have a significant impact on someone’s day.

• Drop-in neighbour’s mailboxes the Neighbourhood Watch’s ‘Happy to Help’ notes.

• Check-in with neighbours who are elderly or live alone to see if they need support.

• Drop off a homemade gift or a platter of baked goods.

• Offer to help with gardening such as mowing the lawn or weeding.

• Organise a driveway happy hour on your street to remain connected.

• Start a neighbourhood chat group on Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp.

* Please ensure you continue to follow the government’s social distancing guidelines where required.

RESIDENT TESTIMONIAL

Kinbrook was the perfect fit for Vikki

Like all prospective buyers, Vikki searched high and low for the perfect community, but something kept drawing her back to Kinbrook. She was ultimately sold on the thoughtful community masterplan.

Working from home, Vikki wanted somewhere that was beautiful to live and well-planned out, while also maintaining a small, neighbourly feel. Vikki found Kinbrook felt like a proper neighbourhood, with large open parks for future grandchildren and pets to play in.

"If I had to describe the estate, I would say it's prestigious. The neighbourhood is far more established than others in the surrounding area, and I liked that when I move in, most of the Kinbrook community assets will already be complete," said Vikki.

Building the home of her dreams, Vikki selected a boutique design constructed by custom home builders Symmetric Homes. Her single-story home is a spacious 150sqm and ticked all her boxes.

"It was an easy option and process for me, thanks to the help of Kinbrook. I can't wait to move in and get my life started at Kinbrook," Vikki said.

There is still a selection of premium properties on offer at Kinbrook.

We have taken $20,000 off all Titled land up to 448m2 so, there has never been a better time for potential purchasers to snap up the opportunity to buy their dream home at Kinbrook.

ILLEGAL DUMPING We have had reports of dumping in the Kinbrook community and we want to reinforce, dumping is illegal.

It can damage the environment, encourage more dumping and impact the visual appeal of our community. If you see any dumped rubbish, or other items, report them to us by emailing kinbrook@rpmrealestate.com.au or contact your local council.

NATURE STRIPS Despite being owned by Whittlesea City Council, nature strips at Kinbrook are under the responsibility and care of you… our residents.
