New link opened at cenotaph
Logan City Council officially unveiled a new pathway at one of last week’s Remembrance Day ceremonies.
The pathway, which is stamped with an image of a poppy, was constructed to provide better access between the Logan Central Cenotaph and nearby Logan Art Gallery.
The $43,000 project was funded through Council’s Local Infrastructure Program and the Queensland Government’s Queensland Remembers Grant Program.
The pathway means veterans and people with disabilities can better access the cenotaph to pay their respects during ANZAC Day and other ceremonies.

Awards for planning excellence
Logan City Council has taken out the highest honour at the Planning Institute Australia 2025 Queensland awards.
The UN-Habitat Quality of Life Pioneer City Initiative – a global program measuring the quality of life in cities around the world, including Logan – won the Overall Award as well as the Community Wellbeing and Diversity category.
Council’s work on improving activity centres in the city was also commended in the Improving Planning Processes category, as was the Wilbur Street Youth Centre in the Community Wellbeing and Diversity Category.
The Quality of Life project is now a nominee in the national awards, which will be held in May 2026.
