The owners of four properties in Brisbane south have willingly handed over their land to the council so it can build a depot for the $944 million Brisbane Metro project.

On Tuesday, Brisbane City Council approved the resumption of four private properties on School Road at Rochedale.

The council first issued the notices to resume to the owners on June 29, 2018, and no objections were received from the property owners.

Opposition leader Peter Cumming criticised the available information on the resumptions, saying there was very little detail.
