i think so

"Taxable Australian property includes:

• Australian real property, such as a house, apartment, commercial building or land
• an indirect interest in Australian real property
• a mining, quarrying or prospecting right in Australia
• a CGT asset that you have used to carry on a business through a permanent establishment in Australia
• an option or right over one of the above – for example, a contract to purchase property off the plan."
