Buying Land & Building a Home

For impartial advice on available options and what is needed before building a home, please read the Buying Land and Building a Home booklet.

The booklet outlines what to look for when choosing a block of land, the different building options available, how to select the right builder, what the building contract should contain and what rights the buyer has when entering into a building contract.

It also outlines what qualifications and approvals are required for owner/builders.

Like all the Department of Housing publications, there is a list of contact phone numbers for government and non-government organisations which can assist further.
