House and Land Packages in QLD: The 2026 First Home Buyer Guide
- 5 days ago
- 2 min read
A house and land package in Queensland combines a block of land and a new home build into a single purchase — and in 2026 it is one of the most affordable ways for first home buyers to enter the market. Eligible QLD first home buyers can access a First Home Owner Grant of up to $30,000 until 30 June 2026, after which it reduces to $15,000. Combined with stamp duty savings on new builds, this makes the next few months a genuinely strategic window.
What is a house and land package?
It is a bundled purchase: you buy the land from a developer and contract a builder to construct a home on it, usually as one coordinated transaction. You typically pay for the land first, then progress payments during construction. The result is a brand-new home, often in a master-planned community with parks, schools, and shops.
Queensland grants and savings in 2026
First Home Owner Grant (FHOG): Up to $30,000 for eligible first home buyers on new builds until 30 June 2026, dropping to $15,000 afterwards. This is a major reason to act before the deadline.
Stamp duty concession: Queensland offers stamp duty relief for first home buyers, and buying new can reduce duty further since you only pay duty on the land value in many house-and-land structures.
First Home Guarantee: Eligible buyers can purchase with as little as a 5% deposit without paying lenders mortgage insurance.
Best Queensland growth corridors for house and land in 2026
South East Queensland's new-build corridors continue to lead demand. Moreton Bay and North Brisbane offer strong infrastructure and population growth. Ipswich and the western corridor remain among the most affordable entry points. The Gold Coast hinterland and Logan corridors round out the high-demand zones. The right suburb depends on your budget, commute, and growth goals.
How to choose the right package
Check the builder's track record and warranty. Confirm the land registration timeline (unregistered land can delay your build and grant eligibility). Verify the total fixed price including site costs. And make sure the location has genuine demand drivers — jobs, transport, and amenity — not just a cheap price.
How much deposit do I need for a house and land package in QLD?
Often as little as 5% with the First Home Guarantee, though 10–20% is common. The land and construction are usually financed in stages. BK Home Broker can connect you with the right structure for your situation.

Is the $30,000 FHOG really ending in 2026?
