New South Wales Consolidated Acts

FIRST HOME OWNER GRANT ACT 2000 - SECT 6A

6A Multiple occupancy contract

(1) For the purposes of this Act:

(a) a contract made on or after 1 July 2002 for the purchase of a home is a "multiple occupancy contract" if 2 or more homes are purchased under the contract and the homes are on the same parcel of land, and

(b) a comprehensive home building contract made on or after 1 July 2002 is a "multiple occupancy contract" if 2 or more homes are to be built under the contract and the homes are on the same parcel of land.

(2) The provisions of this Act apply in respect of a multiple occupancy contract as if a separate contract had been made in respect of each home purchased or built under the contract that is an exclusive occupancy.

(3) Accordingly, each of those contracts may, subject to the requirements of section 13, be treated as a separate eligible transaction under this Act and section 7 (4) does not prevent the payment of a grant in respect of each such eligible transaction.

(4) A home is an "exclusive occupancy" only if the Chief Commissioner is satisfied that the purchaser of the home or the party to the contract for whom the home is built is, on the completion of the contract, entitled to occupy that home as a place of residence to the exclusion of the persons who purchase the other homes, or for whom the other homes are built, under the contract.
