Brisbane’s deputy mayor Krista Adams says the state government should either conserve six hectares of koala habitat land located near Toohey Forest, or give it to the Brisbane City Council.
Councillor Adams says the council is happy to negotiate with the government for the purchase of the land, but the land will not be purchased at its full commercial value of $6 million.
Labor councillor Steve Griffiths says the council recently purchased land in Upper Mount Gravatt for $5.2 million, and questioned why the LNP administration is refusing to spend money on the Nathan properties now.
