First Time Owner Grant Help - Brisbane
We are nearing construction of our house in Samford finally......!
The builder has reached lock-up stage and reckons that it is likely for occupancy during mid September-ish.
As part of the application procedure for first time owner grant we need to get a copy of an "inspection summary or local authority final inspection report which indicates that it is fit for occupancy."
Anyone know who supplies this....?
Grateful for any help.

I suspect that your local Council will need to do a final inspection before handover to confirm it’s fit for occupancy, which your builder will arrange, and thereafter, provide a final inspection report.

I've been on to the Pine Rivers Council website and from what I can make of it suggest for them to do an inspection it will cost us a mere $545 :scared:
for their service.
IHope I'm wrong!!
