Logan's local innovation, new ideas and technology improve how we do things in the city. All our innovation is designed to improve the lives of our residents and the way our city functions.

City Vision

Innovative, dynamic city of the future

Our vision is for a well-planned, sustainable city that has local and global reach. The City of Logan is a place with a rich history and diversity. It’s a place where people and businesses are adaptable.

City Futures Strategy

On 17 April 2018, Council endorsed the City Futures Strategy.

During 2017, we developed our City Futures Strategy through consultation with the community. Our strategy aligns with the Australian Government’s Smart Cities Plan.

Our City Futures Strategy is our road map for Logan’s future. It outlines our strategic priorities for the City of Logan.

Our programs

Advancing Regional Innovation Program (ARIP)

ARIP is a three-year program supported by the Queensland Government. It’s designed to turn our region into a thriving hub for innovation and enterprise.

We’re working with Griffith University and Redland City Council to deliver events and activities through ARIP. We’re helping to build a culture of sustainable innovation.

Through ARIP, we’re supporting our region to become a place where both local and global businesses choose to invest. We’re building a community where we can all live, work and play.

City Studio Logan program

CityStudio Logan seeks to inspire action for meaningful change in our city. It’s a model that brings together education organisations, students and Council staff to solve real challenges.

Cities are better when we build them together. Through CityStudio Logan, we’re bringing together Council staff, students, educators and the community to work together and design new projects to respond to the current needs of our city.

CityStudio Logan projects are based on current city challenges, matched with education partners. The educators develop new ideas and teach about these challenges using project-based learning. The educators involve passionate students who develop practical skills in solving challenges in a real-world context. The students and educators then launch their projects in the local community, with support from us.

We licensed the CityStudio Logan model from CityStudio Vancouver in 2018. We’re currently running a series of pilot projects, and we plan to expand our partnerships to solve new challenges in the future.
