Westmead pips Liverpool to top first home owner grants list

According to the NSW Office of State Revenue (OSR), Liverpool has consistently been at or near the top, on a yearly basis by postcode, in receiving the most first home benefits in NSW in terms of total grants and total value of grants.  I’ve previously commented on this here in 2009, and here in 2010.

According to the latest figures though, Westmead tops that list for the most recent 12 month period to 31 March 2012.  During that period there were 776 first home grants received in the Westmead area (Liverpool 733), totalling over $5.8m.  The first Home Plus benefits for Westmead are respectively 701 by number (2 less than Liverpool) and $9m by value (Liverpool, $8m).

The OSR’s pdf summary sheet is here. 

Liverpool, however, easily tops the “all-time” NSW list for 1 July 2000 to 31 March 2012, in both total number of grants and by value of first home benefits.  Interestingly, Westmead comes in at second place.  The OSR’s figures for these are in this pdf summary here.
