A GROUP of neighbourhood kids who took on the Brisbane City Council over the demolition of their treehouse have scored a $50,000 replacement.

Council will unveil the final plans for the new fort-style cubby house, in Spencer Park in Newmarket , to local residents next week.

Last month the council condemned the kids' homemade structure - a 4m high cubby house made of wooden planks stuck between two rubber trees - but not before the David v Goliath-style battle gained national attention.

Council said the cubby house had to be removed because of the risk of serious injury and subsequent legal action.

Labor councillor David Hinchliffe, whose parks trust fund will fund the project, said the $50,000 price tag would only be reasonable if the project was a well-sized adventure playground.

“If it’s a little fort, it’s way too much,” he said.
