A group of Yuggera Ugarapul people are camping on sacred land near Ipswich in hopes to stop the construction of a 925-lot housing estate close to a heritage-listed Aboriginal mission and cemetery.
Development company Frasers Property Australia plan to develop land for new houses and a school around the former Deebing Creek Mission and cemetery at Deebing Heights, west of Brisbane, causing upset among traditional owners.
Lawyer for the Yuggera Ugarapul people Trevor Hoff said they wanted to take legal action against Frasers Property Australia and were planning to file an injunction.
