Queensland residents protest early land buy for Bruce Highway, citing misleading promises and unfair offers.
Residents in Narangba, Queensland, are criticizing the state government’s early land acquisition for the Bruce Highway Western Alternative, saying they were misled about the process.
Homeowners Christine and Robert Schulz, who operate a fruit farm, were told early acquisition would provide above-market rates and protect their interests, but later learned it lacks legal protections like appeal rights in Land Court.
Offered $2.15 million—below their $2.5 million expectation—their valuation was based on auction estimates, not market value, and didn’t account for years of investment.
They terminated the deal, citing poor transparency, and now await formal resumption, warning others not to trust assurances.
The transport department says it has no preference between acquisition methods and that valuations reflect what properties would have sold for without the project.
