Was it freehold land or a lease. If it was a lease it would have had conditions attached which clearly were not being met.
I think Double Island is mostly National Park and a conservation area so all land in such sensitive areas should only ever be leasehold with strict conditions.
Nearby Dunk Island has been in a similar situation for at least a decade with a collapsed resort which is now a derelict eyesore.
