Hangzhou digital economy investor support
QHITPA provides paid administrative coordination and application-preparation support for Hangzhou-based individuals, families, companies and advisers considering Australian residential land, new dwellings, development, commercial property or connected investment matters.
Start your Hangzhou enquiry
A concise first brief helps QHITPA identify whether the Hangzhou enquiry concerns residential land, a new dwelling, development, commercial land or a broader business transaction.
About Hangzhou investor enquiries
Hangzhou is a leading digital-economy, e-commerce, technology and private-enterprise centre with strong international business activity.
Hangzhou entrepreneurs may combine Australian property with technology expansion, portfolio diversification, family planning or development objectives that need coordinated approval preparation.
Hangzhou founders may hold investments through layered company or fund structures. QHITPA begins with the ultimate purchaser and beneficial ownership chain, then aligns the property and funding documents with that structure.

The same Hangzhou investor may have several objectives, but each Australian asset must be classified and documented on its own facts.
A technology-related enquiry may involve an office, research space, data operations or staff accommodation. Each asset should be listed separately so residential, commercial and business-investment questions are not combined incorrectly.
Hangzhou-based investors considering a new apartment or house should confirm that the property is genuinely a new dwelling, identify the purchaser and record whether the asset is for investment, future family use or another stated purpose.
Where a company is considering commercial land, offices or premises, QHITPA separates the property acquisition from any business acquisition and records the entity, ownership chain, asset value and intended operating use.
Application readiness
Organising these points early helps the Hangzhou client, QHITPA and independent advisers avoid inconsistent documents and preventable delays.
Prepare a simple ownership chart showing shareholders, controllers, trustees and ultimate beneficial owners where an entity is involved.
Summarise purchase funds, lenders, related-party finance and expected transfers so the documents are consistent and available when requested.
Confirm whether the buyer will be an individual, company, trust or another entity, using names that match the proposed contract and identification records.
Share the intended contract and settlement dates early. Government processing, information requests and professional review must be allowed for.
QHITPA coordination pathway
QHITPA acts as a paid coordination point for Hangzhou enquiries. It does not issue approval or replace Australian legal, tax, finance, property or migration professionals.
Record the investor, purchaser, ownership chain, asset, value, intended use and deadlines in one working brief.
Identify identity, company, ownership, funding, property and contract documents and note any translation requirements.
Connect the client with suitable Australian legal, tax, finance, property and migration professionals where relevant.
Support application readiness, responses to information requests, understanding of conditions and practical next actions.
Current policy context
The rules do not change because an applicant lives in Hangzhou. The outcome depends on foreign-person status, purchaser structure, property category, value and current Australian law and policy.
Foreign persons generally need approval before acquiring an interest in Australian residential land, regardless of value.
From 1 April 2025 to 30 June 2029, foreign investors are generally prohibited from purchasing established dwellings, subject to limited exceptions.
Commercial land, agricultural land and business acquisitions can involve separate thresholds and notification requirements.

Frequently asked questions
A company may be able to acquire certain Australian assets, but its foreign status, controllers, beneficial owners, asset category and transaction value must be reviewed before an application pathway is selected.
Applicants should be ready to explain purchase funds, lenders, related-party finance and transfers. QHITPA can help organise a clear checklist but does not provide tax or financial advice.
They may be commercially connected, but business interests, commercial land and residential property can involve different tests. The transactions should be separated and then coordinated.
Timing varies with the transaction, application type, completeness and any information requests. Investors should start before signing or committing to a fixed settlement timetable.
Provide the proposed purchaser, property type, Australian location, value and timing.
