Australia
Sydney — Canterbury-Bankstown, Parramatta · Melbourne
A quarter-million Australians of Lebanese ancestry — Canterbury-Bankstown in Sydney is the heartland. A settled, home-owning community.
Can foreigners buy? Strict for non-residents: foreign buyers are banned from purchasing established homes (ban runs to 2027) — new builds and off-plan only, with FIRB approval and fees. Citizens and PRs unaffected.
