Suzhou industrial park and investor support
QHITPA provides paid administrative coordination and application-preparation support for Suzhou-based individuals, families, companies and advisers considering Australian residential land, new dwellings, development, commercial property or connected investment matters.
Start your Suzhou enquiry
A concise first brief helps QHITPA identify whether the Suzhou enquiry concerns residential land, a new dwelling, development, commercial land or a broader business transaction.
About Suzhou investor enquiries
Suzhou is a high-value manufacturing, industrial-park, technology and export centre located within the wider Shanghai economic region.
Suzhou investors may combine Australian property with industrial, technology, family or portfolio objectives and should document related entities and funding arrangements early.
Suzhou companies are often experienced with cross-border structures, but Australian property approval still depends on the specific purchaser and asset. Corporate group charts and beneficial ownership details should match the proposed contract entity.

The same Suzhou investor may have several objectives, but each Australian asset must be classified and documented on its own facts.
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.
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.
Suzhou-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.
Application readiness
Organising these points early helps the Suzhou 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.
Identify whether the asset is commercial land, residential land, a business interest or a combined transaction before determining the approval pathway.
Identify spouses, relatives, business partners, companies, trusts, lenders and advisers connected with the proposed acquisition.
Summarise purchase funds, lenders, related-party finance and expected transfers so the documents are consistent and available when requested.
QHITPA coordination pathway
QHITPA acts as a paid coordination point for Suzhou 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 Suzhou. 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.
No. Commercial land can involve different monetary thresholds, notification tests and conditions. The exact property and transaction value must be identified before advice is coordinated.
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.
A change from an individual to a company, trust or joint purchaser can materially alter the application. Tell QHITPA and the Australian legal adviser before documents are amended or signed.
Provide the proposed purchaser, property type, Australian location, value and timing.
