Police are investigating whether a large-scale cannabis production facility south of Bundaberg could be linked to a similar commercial-scale operation located at Boondooma in August.
Fourteen people have been charged after police raided a property adjacent to the Bruce Highway at Isis Central on Wednesday.
Police allege the drugs seized have a potential street value of $234.5 million.
It will be alleged the facility comprised of 51 greenhouses, each approximately 80m long. Inside police allegedly seized 46,894 cannabis plants and seedlings, along with generators, hydroponic and other equipment.
In August, police charged seven men and seized cannabis allegedly worth nearly $40 million after a raid on a Boondooma property.
A police spokesperson said multiple large greenhouses on the former cattle station contained about 15,680 cannabis plants and 50kg of dried cannabis.
Police also allegedly seized generators and hydroponic equipment at the Boondooma site.
