No. But you might be eligible for a first home owner grant if you build a detached dwelling (e.g. granny flat) on a relative’s land.
The relative cannot build the home for you; the contract to build must be in your name.
All other eligibility criteria for the grant apply.

If you’re buying your first home with another person—for instance, a partner, friend, sibling, parent or other family member—you may still qualify for the first home owner grant.
It doesn’t matter if a single person, 2 people or even 5 people buy a house together—as long as each party (and any spouses) meets the eligibility requirements.
To qualify for the first home owner grant, you must be a first time buyer who is purchasing a new home or building a new home to live in.
The property must be in Queensland and you must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident or applying with someone who is. In most cases, you need to be over 18 to receive the grant.
