Logan City Council has endorsed Logan 2075 – a bold, long‑term vision for how the city will grow, change and thrive over the next 50 years.
Logan 2075 brings together community insight, long‑term planning and clear priorities. It deliberately shapes Logan’s future. The vision reflects a shared ambition for a more liveable, connected and prosperous city for today’s residents and for generations to come.
It recognises that Logan is one of Queensland’s fastest‑growing and most diverse cities, and that planning ahead is essential to support growth well over time. Logan 2075 provides a shared framework to help Council, its partners and the community respond to future opportunities in a coordinated and considered way.
Underpinned by 7 interconnected, city‑wide goals, Logan 2075 will guide decision‑making and enable progress to be tracked over time.
The next phase will focus on developing the strategies that guide how Logan 2075 is delivered over time, shaping future projects, partnerships and investment across the city. The vision will be formally launched later in the year, alongside more detail about how these strategies will be developed.
The Mayor, Councillors and senior Council leaders played a central role in shaping Logan 2075, working with the community to translate shared priorities into a clear, long‑term direction for the city.
Looking 50 years ahead means planning for change and uncertainty. The 7 goals of Logan 2075 provide long‑term stability and direction, while allowing flexibility in how they are delivered over time. Together, they define what success looks like for Logan and provide a shared framework for long‑term decision‑making.
Each goal focuses on a different aspect of the city’s future, but they are intentionally interconnected. Progress in one area strengthens outcomes in others. Delivering the Logan 2075 vision depends on progressing all 7 goals together.
To support transparency and accountability, each goal is paired with a clear measure that helps track progress over time and keeps the long‑term vision grounded in practical outcomes.
The 7 interconnected goals are:
-
City shape and mobility: By 2075, 60 per cent of peak trips will be either public or active transport. This goal focuses on how the city grows and how people move, supporting better access to jobs, services and daily activities while reducing congestion and improving liveability.
-
Strong economy: By 2075, Logan’s economy will be worth $250 billion per year. This goal supports local jobs, skills and investment, helping Logan residents work closer to home and strengthening the city’s economic identity.
-
Magnetic places: By 2075, job density ratio of Logan’s urban villages and precincts is 25,000 jobs per square kilometre in primary locations and 15,000 jobs per square kilometre in secondary locations. This goal is about creating vibrant centres and precincts by concentrating jobs in key locations, helping to build lively places that bring people together.
-
Green Logan: By 2075, wildlife habitat and ecological values of our mapped biodiversity corridors increase by at least 25 per cent. This goal protects and enhances Logan’s natural environment, recognising its importance to biodiversity, recreation and quality of life.
-
Resilient and sustainable city: By 2075, our utilities are sustainable and are our economic driver, with revenues exceeding costs. This goal supports long‑term resilience by ensuring essential services such as water, waste and energy are managed sustainably and support the city’s growth and prosperity.
-
Everyone thrives: By 2075, the lives of Logan residents are better than any previous generation. This goal focuses on people’s lived experience in Logan, ensuring that life in the city continues to improve over time and that everyone has the opportunity to benefit from growth and change.
- Shared and united future: By 2075, Logan residents are deeply connected, with 85 per cent reporting strong social cohesion. This goal reflects the importance of connection, trust and belonging in a diverse city, where unity is built through shared experiences and mutual respect.
Logan 2075 will be delivered through a rolling program of 10‑year strategies. These will turn the long‑term vision into clear priorities for each decade.
Over the next 2 years, 5 new strategies will replace Council’s existing strategy set. Each strategy focuses on a key theme. Together they provide a practical pathway to deliver the 7 city‑wide goals.
The 5 key themes are:
- City shape and mobility
- Economic transformation
- Thriving community
- Natural areas
- Waste, water and energy
Together, these strategies will guide future projects, partnerships and investment across the city. They will help Council:
- deliver what it can directly
- work in partnership where needed
- advocate for change to support the long‑term vision.
Logan 2075 builds on the Logan Community Vision(PDF, 2MB). This was a vision created and owned by the community through broad engagement that included a deliberative panel.
In 2020, Logan City Council invited the community to help shape a 10‑year vision for Logan. This vision captured local priorities across 9 themes to guide Council’s decision‑making. Many of the projects and priorities from that vision have since been delivered or are underway. More information about the Logan Community Vision is available on Have Your Say Logan.
Logan 2075 represents the next step. It expands the community’s vision into a longer‑term, 50‑year outlook. It lifts ambition and provides a framework to guide how the city grows and changes over time.
This new long‑term vision:
- builds on what has been learned
- protects what the community values most
- sets clear, future‑focused goals to help Logan thrive for generations to come.
As we plan for the future, it’s critical to move beyond short‑term thinking. We need to embrace a long‑term vision that reflects our city’s unique strengths and challenges. Logan 2075 provides that long‑term lens. It helps ensure decisions made today contribute to a city that remains liveable, inclusive and sustainable for generations to come.
By setting a 50‑year horizon, Logan 2075, we:
-
Plan beyond short‑term cycles – traditional planning often focuses on 3 to 5 years. Logan 2075 looks ahead 50 years, ensuring today’s decisions support long‑term outcomes.
-
Unlock Logan’s potential – as Queensland’s youngest, most diverse and fastest‑growing city, Logan is uniquely positioned to support innovation, economic growth and liveability.
- Manage sustainable growth – with rapid growth comes both opportunity and challenge. A clear, future‑focused vision helps ensure development is sustainable, inclusive and well‑planned.
This approach helps Council, its partners and the community make coordinated decisions that respond to today’s needs while keeping sight of Logan’s long‑term priorities.
A number of significant projects are already underway or in development, each with the potential to help shape the future of the city.
Building on this momentum, Logan 2075 provides a more holistic, long‑term framework for planning and delivering major projects. It encourages thinking beyond the next few years. It also supports a clear, coordinated pipeline of initiatives that align with community priorities and the city’s long‑term strategic direction.
These projects will span the short, medium and long term and will be designed to deliver real outcomes across the 5 key themes, helping to progress the 7 city‑wide goals over time.
Community engagement sat at the heart of Transform Logan and played a critical role in shaping Logan 2075. Thousands of voices helped inform the long‑term vision, providing Council with a strong foundation for planning the city’s future.
Over an 8‑month engagement phase, Council heard from a diverse cross‑section of the Logan community, including residents, young people, students, business leaders and industry representatives. These insights helped identify shared priorities and informed the direction of Logan 2075.
Engagement activities included:
- a demographically representative Community Reference Panel
- a city‑wide public survey
- targeted workshops with primary school students and youth networks
- face-to-face sessions held with First Nations, cultural and community leaders
- a business roundtable with local industry leaders.
Together, this engagement helped translate community priorities into a clear, long‑term vision for the city.
The insights shared by the community through Transform Logan have directly informed Logan 2075. They have shaped the city’s long‑term vision and 7 interconnected goals.
As Logan 2075 moves from vision to delivery, Council remains committed to closing the loop with the community. This includes clearly communicating how community input has influenced decisions and how it continues to inform the development of long‑term strategies, projects and investment.
Ongoing updates will be shared through Have Your Say Logan – Transform Logan as Council progresses the next phase of work and prepares for the formal launch of the Logan 2075 vision later in the year.
