Complaining about an action or decision made by Council

We value feedback from our customers. We use your feedback to improve our delivery of products and services.

If you are unhappy with something we have done, you can make an administrative action complaint.

The Local Government Act 2009 defines an administrative action complaint as a complaint made by an affected person about an administrative action of Council. An affected person is someone who is directly affected by an administrative action of Council.

An administrative action of Council includes:

• a decision or failure to make a decision, including a failure to provide a written statement for the reasons of a decision
• an act or failure to act
• the formulation of a proposal or intention, and
• the making of a recommendation.

Examples might include being unhappy with a service we have performed, a decision we have made or the actions taken by Council staff.

If you would like to make an administrative action complaint, please put your complaint in writing using one of the following methods:

• fill in the online form
• email us at council@logan.qld.gov.au
• post us a letter

When we receive your administrative action complaint, we follow the process set out in the Administrative Action Complaints Policy. We will contact you within 5 business days to let you know we have received your complaint.

To find out more about our complaints process, please download our Administrative Action Complaints Procedure (PDF 1.17 MB) and  Administrative Action Complaints Policy (PDF 247 KB).

In most cases, your complaint will be reviewed and investigated by the manager of the area the complaint relates to. In some cases, the complaint will be reviewed by a director at Council.

How long will it take for Council to investigate my complaint?

We must respond to all complaints within 25 business days, unless the matter is complex.

We will contact you if more time is required for us to provide you the fullest response.

What can I do if I’m not happy about the response given to my administrative action complaint?

If you are unhappy with the response we give, you can request an internal review. To request an internal review, you should put your complaint in writing and state why the decision was wrong or why/how the assessment, investgation or decision was deficient. You can use the following methods to provide this information:

• fill in the online form
• email us at council@logan.qld.gov.au
• post us a letter

If you are unhappy with the internal review completed, you may refer the matter to the Queensland Ombudsman's Office. Please visit Queensland Government - It's OK to Complain for more information about your rights and how complaints are handled.

If you are unhappy with an internal review about a water related complaint, you may refer the matter to the Energy and Water Ombudsman Queensland.
