Community invited to have a say on new Logan Plan
Published on 02 September 2025
Logan City Council has begun public consultation on its draft Logan Plan, which will guide how land is used and developed in one of Queensland’s fastest growing cities.
This planning scheme represents the next generation of the current plan, adopted in 2015 after consolidating earlier plans, and will shape how land is used and developed across the city for the next 10 to 20 years.
Mayor Jon Raven said the new plan reflected changes in Queensland Government planning priorities, including updated flood risk mapping, and introduces new features to support housing choice and a thriving economy.
“Logan is one of the fastest growing cities in our state, and we want to make sure we’re using this growth to benefit our community,” he said.
“As more residents move to Logan than ever before, our goal is to improve our quality of life and local opportunities.
“This is our chance to think about how and where we create change over the next decade, and what that looks like.
“The planning scheme has had minor updates since 2015, but changes to Queensland Government planning regulations, among other things, mean it’s time for a bigger review.”
The updated Logan Plan includes elements that protect what we value about our city, while focusing on future needs. These include:
- encouraging new forms of housing, such as terrace housing for smaller, connected houses to support first home buyers or down-sizers
- prioritising development near existing infrastructure and services such as water, wastewater and transport to improve affordability
- mitigating risk in the city’s floodplain through updated flood risk mapping, which uses new studies and the latest science, technologies and standards
- a stronger focus on design to create more attractive and functional spaces
- protecting key employment land to support opportunities for future job-creating businesses
- introducing new guidelines for rural tourism opportunities such as farm stays and other nature-based activities.
Community consultation is open until October 31, with more than 50 in-person and online events being held across the nine-week period.
Residents and community members can speak to town planners and learn more.
There are also dedicated sessions about flooding, including an online Town Hall-style meeting hosted by Mayor Raven via a Facebook live event on September 3 and an in-person Town Hall at the Jimboomba State School Hall on September 9 at 6:30pm.
Full details, including fact sheets, videos and other resources, the list of all planned engagement events, and information about how to make a submission, is available at Logan Plan.
