Wieambilla Ambush Property Listed for Sale as Police Union Talks Stall

The estate’s executor turned to a public listing after months without progress with the Queensland Police Union.

Overview

  • The 43-hectare Wains Road property in Wieambilla has been posted online with offers invited from about $190,000.
  • Executor Aidan Train says an off‑market deal with the Queensland Police Union reached conveyancing stage but remained unsigned and inactive since October 2025.
  • Queensland Police Union president Shane Prior says negotiations are ongoing and the union is conducting due diligence that includes fiduciary and maintenance cost assessments.
  • Listing photos show the house in a dilapidated condition with rubbish inside, a gun safe, a trap door and an Australian Shooter magazine on the floor.
  • The site was where Constables Rachel McCrow and Matthew Arnold and neighbour Alan Dare were killed in December 2022, with two other officers surviving the ambush.
