DEVELOPERS of the controversial residential project at the former Deebing Creek Mission site will hold a public meeting on the plans later this month.

Frasers Property Australia, formerly Australand, is in the process of buying a 115ha site on Grampian Drive, Deebing Heights, from Deebing Developments.

The site includes the former Mission site and a cemetery, which is listed on the Queensland Heritage Register.

Deebing Developments had put forward plans for a 600-home development on the site with application dating back to 2008 and fresh plans were lodged late last year.

A Frasers spokesman said the sale of the land had gone unconditional and the company was committed to consulting with the community to ensure heritage and indigenous cultural values of the land were respected in any future development.

"We're not talking about layouts at this point in time. There is an existing application made by the previous owners. We had nothing to do with that, absolutely nothing," he said.

"At this point the first thing to consider is the heritage on the site and it would be putting the cart before the horse to embark on master planning.

"Frasers Property acknowledges the historical significance of the land and is committed to working with the community and affected stakeholders."

The site began as a mission in 1887 and operated until 1915 when the mission relocated to Purga. It was gazetted for Aboriginal purposes from 1892 to 1948 and then used for grazing where it was transferred into private ownership.

Indigenous families say there are grave sites throughout the mission lands and have called for the development to be stopped and for the land to remain untouched.

More than 100 protesters marched through central Ipswich last month waving placards "Preserve our sacred land" and "Let our ancestors RIP".

The community meeting will be held at Ipswich Civic Centre on October 21 at 5.30pm.
