An elderly Brisbane man has been told he has until Christmas to leave his home as the state government pushes forward with Gabba redevelopment plans.

Trevor Connolly, 93, had been living in his Coorparoo home for 60 years, with no plan of leaving, when he received a resumption letter, also known as a compulsory acquisition letter, in mid-October.

Connolly, a widower living with dementia, was told the state government would be acquiring his land to make way for a drop-off zone for the new East Brisbane State School, after it was forced to relocate to make way for an Olympic stadium.

“You feel so useless, what can you do about it?” Connolly told 7NEWS.

“Sanity doesn’t always prevail.”

The Connolly family home is the last residential lot left on a street full of businesses — and the only property to receive a resumption notice.

Connolly describe the decision to acquire his land as “lunacy” and “madness” stating there was plenty of space elsewhere on the street for a school drop-off-zone.

“They’re quite brutal really, and insensitive,” Connolly’s daughter Anne told 7NEWS.

The Department of Education said in a media statement “decisions to acquire land are not taken lightly”, and that they were “committed to negotiating in an open, compassionate and conciliatory manner”.

“It’s a heck of a change just to think about,” Connolly said.
