Drew Dickson, of Drew Dickson Architects, noted that interest in\u00a0residential development hadn&#8217;t waned. Dickson&#8217;s said Australia&#8217;s\u00a0exchange rate was drawing Chinese investors in, with the nation&#8217;s\u00a0reputation as a solid investment destination and its\u00a0established Chinese population giving the property\u00a0market resilience.

CoreLogic RP Data confirms this, observing\u00a02016 as the lowest point for annual home growth in 31 months. September marks the upcoming China International Fair for Investment and Trade, and Dickson, along with keen investors are confident that the property market will continue to grow.
