Ban on foreign property purchases
March 9, 2025
The Government has announced a temporary ban on investors buying established homes between 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2027. The measure aims to curb foreign “land banking.”
From 1 April 2025, foreign investors (including temporary residents and foreign-owned companies) will be prohibited from acquiring established dwellings unless they qualify for specific exemptions. While exemptions exist, they are limited.
In addition, foreign investors purchasing vacant land will be required to meet development conditions that require the land to be used productively within a reasonable timeframe.

Superannuation is tax-effective but tightly restricted. Early access is only allowed in limited cases such as financial hardship or approved compassionate grounds.
Tighter supermarket unit pricing rules may be coming, and suppliers could face compliance pressures as the Government targets shrinkflation and clearer pricing.
ATO interest on overdue tax debts is no longer tax-deductible, making ATO payment plans far more expensive for taxpayers. We explore the alternatives.
