Demand for new dwellings is up 48 per cent in the Wide Bay-Burnett region, with the building industry kicking off the new year on a high note.
It comes as the State Government confirmed it would extend the Regional Home Building boost grant until March 31.
The expansion of the grant will see eligible new home buyers continue to receive $5000 after the purchase or construction of a brand-new house, unit or townhouse valued at less than $750,000.
After expressing disappointment at the regional grant missing a mention in the State Budget, Master Builders chief executive Grant Galvin said the announcement was sure to boost confidence.
