Note: If you are unsure when occupation must commence, refer to the examples in criterion 7 at section 5 of the Guide or contact TRO for further information. The Commissioner has the discretion to vary the occupancy requirements (refer to section 6 in the Guide to the application).

You may not be eligible for the rebate as each successful applicant must take occupancy of the home as their principal place of residence within the timeframes and for the period specified in (a) or (b) above.

In special circumstances, the Commissioner may extend the period for commencing occupation, reduce the six (6) month period of occupancy (but not waive it entirely) or exempt one or more applicants from the occupancy requirements.

To find out more information about the Commissioner's discretions refer to Commissioner's Guideline CG-HI-003.
