The Australian Defence Force is set to put the Bulimba Barracks, located on a prime piece of riverfront land, on the market.
According to The Brisbane Times, the Parlimentary Secretary for Defence Darren Chester said t[tweet_dis]he ADF would sell 20 hectares of the 23ha site[/tweet_dis] and keep the remaining land for navy personnel, reserves and cadets.
"Surplus Defence property is generally sold on the open market, however, direct sales to local and state government are allowed in some circumstances," Mr Chester told the online publication.
