Housing Industry Association (HIA) figures show a big jump in new home enquiries since the Federal Government tripled the First Home Owner Grant.

The HIA says $21,000 grant for new homes has led to a doubling in the number of inquiries.

The association expects around 15,000 new homes will be built as a result of the increased grant.
