The Queensland Government says some freehold forestry land that is being sold as part of its privatisation plans could be re-zoned.

The sale of Forestry Plantations Queensland will include 33,000 hectares of freehold land.

The Opposition says the Government was not upfront about the land sale and is concerned shops and houses could be built on it.

Some is zoned rural production and cannot be developed but Deputy Premier Paul Lucas says other parcels would be subject to normal re-zoning processes.

“Any freehold land in Queensland, no matter where, is subject to town planning and zoning laws and of course they can be,” he said.

“If someone wants to apply something different, that is then considered,” he said.

Meanwhile Mr Lucas has defended the Government from Opposition attacks over a brochure promoting the forestry privatisation.

He says a brochure saying the “trees and not the land” would be sold was just a summary document.

On ABC Local Radio this morning, Mr Lucas said the details are available in other documents.

“The summary document is the summary document and 90 per cent of their land is freehold,” he said.

But Opposition treasury spokesman Tim Nicholls says the brochure is misleading.

“Does that mean 90 per cent of what’s said in Parliament on your side is true?” he said.

“Does that mean 90 per cent of what the other things being offered for sale is true?

“Where else should people be looking to say what are we being told is accurate and what are we being told is false?”
