Brisbane City Council will decide whether to purchase 1.6 hectares of private land in the south Brisbane suburb of Pallara at a price tag of $2.5 million to develop a sports park.

The property in question on Devries Road has a house established, but after two years’ negotiation the council has reached an agreement to purchase the property.

At Tuesday’s council meeting, the council will vote on whether to approve the purchase, which would be the fifth purchase of land in the area to develop the Pallara District Sports Park.

The relatively under-developed suburb of Pallara is being increasingly carved up with several major developments under way for house and land packages.
