Jason Ian Beath, 57, was not required to appear in Southport Magistrates Court on Monday following his arrest at Tallebudgera Valley, southwest of the Gold Coast, at 10.15am on Sunday.
Beath was charged with attempt to murder as well as trespass, possessing ammunition and possession of a shotgun used to commit an indictable offence.
Police launched a manhunt after Beath allegedly opened fire with the homemade shotgun on a 59-year-old man at a Tallebudgera Valley property on February 6.
The man heard noises underneath his house and found Beath at the scene, police allege.
"The (alleged) victim approached a man after finding him on his property, the man then presented a firearm and shot the (alleged) victim," a police statement said.
"The (alleged offender) has then left the scene by foot in an unknown direction."
Emergency crews attended the house and the 59-year-old victim was transported to Gold Coast University Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Beath was arrested by officers searching on foot on Sunday near the scene of the alleged offences.
"During this search, a 57-year-old man was located injured in a structure in bushland and taken into custody without incident," police said.
"The man has been transported to hospital to be assessed for non-life-threatening injuries."
In Southport Magistrates Court on Monday, Beath's solicitor Bettina Webb asked for a date for police to provide their brief of evidence in the case.
"(Beath) is in the watch house ... there is no application for bail," she said.
Ms Webb sought to have the case return to court as soon as Tuesday.
Police prosecutor Rodney Keyte said he had "no issue" with the application.
Magistrate Pamela Dowse said the suggested dates were "really horrible" due to the number of cases in court.
Ms Dowse adjourned the matter for February 25 and Mr Keyte said he would start work on a brief of evidence.
