I have just been informed that our contract won't be ready until early July, which pushes us past the June 30 deadline. But I also heard about a month ago that the Boost was too be extended until next June 2011. Can anybody confirm this?

Following is what's stated in state revenue office. 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2011 (contract date) If you are eligible to receive the Grant, you may also be entitled to receive an additional payment of $13,000 (for new homes only), known as the First Home Bonus (the Bonus).
