What is council doing?
We acknowledge that all levels of government have a role to play. We work with other levels of government, agencies and local service providers to address housing supply and homelessness in the City of Logan.
The Queensland Department of Communities, Housing and the Digital Economy (DCHDE) is the lead agency responsible for reducing homelessness in Queensland. DCHDE provide public and community housing, and fund housing and homelessness service providers.
Logan City Council does not provide case management or housing for people experiencing homelessness.
When we receive a call from someone experiencing homelessness, we:
- refer them to DCHDE, the Logan Care Coordination team and / or other support services
- seek consent to pass on the person’s details and information about their situation to the Logan Care Coordination team who will assess their case and refer them to suitable accommodation and support services
- provide information on street meals, emergency relief and other services, if relevant.
We understand that everyone has a right to enjoy and feel safe in public spaces.
Where temporary structures, such as tents or tarps, are unsafe or limit access or use of a public space, Council Officers will request that the structure be removed.
If a person is not homeless, declines assistance or does not follow regulations, Council will manage this as a case of unlawful camping according to local laws.
