Brisbane City Council has purchased a further 90 hectares of bush land from private owners as part of its bush land acquisition plan, including 16 hectares from an owner who did not want to sell their land.

The owner of a 16.85-hectare block of land on Lake Manchester Road at Kholo purchased their land for $250,000 in 2003 but have now been forced to sell it to the council.

In November 2017 the council issued a notice to the owner of intention to resume the land.

The owner objected to this.
