Logan Plan

About Logan Plan

Logan Plan is our proposed new planning scheme (town plan) to guide future land use and development in our fast growing city. It’s about zoning, managing growth in existing and emerging areas of our city, housing and density in the right places, land for business and jobs, our activity centres and economy, design, managing natural hazards, protecting what we value (like our lifestyle, environment and heritage) and lots more.

Public consultation on the draft plan was held between Monday 1 September and Friday 31 October 2025, and is now closed. Council appreciates the high level of community interest and involvement and is now working through the submissions received to consider improvements for the draft plan. Refer to the Submissions progress report below.

Submissions progress report

This table shows our progress through the stages of processing the submissions received during public consultation for the draft Logan Plan. Last updated on 2 March 2026.

Step	What we’re doing	Progress
Capture all submissions	Our community lodged submissions online, in letters, emails and forms. We needed to capture them all into a single system.	Completed - 100% We have 4,010 submissions.
Categorise submissions	Review each submission to identify all the different points made and categorise them by topics (for example, environment, housing, zoning, flooding). Identify all the unique issues or matters raised in the submission points. For example, there may be many submission points that speak to the same issue, such as the way our proposed planning scheme deals with environmental offsets.	In progress - 32% complete. We have so far identified almost 2,000 unique issues.
Investigate issues raised	Consider each unique issue and determine how Council will respond to it. Some issues will need detailed investigations and we may need to consult with technical experts, lawyers and the Queensland Government. We also need to consider how any proposed changes might impact other areas of the planning scheme or other regulations like local laws or policies.	Not yet started
Endorse changes	When we have identified and reviewed all of the changes we propose to make to the draft Logan Plan in response to the submissions, we will seek Council’s endorsement of them. We can then apply those changes and finalise our Consultation Report.	Not yet started

Why is the Logan Plan needed?

Over the next 15 years Logan will be one of the fastest growing areas in South East Queensland. Our planning scheme helps us manage this growth by:

guiding what can be built where, supporting jobs and providing housing choice
planning the delivery of infrastructure (like roads, parks, water and community facilities)
protecting what we value in our city, like our environment, safety and heritage.

All councils are required to review their planning schemes within 10 years and decide whether to amend or replace them. Since Logan’s current planning scheme started in May 2015, there have been many changes affecting our city, our region and the way we live, work, learn, play and move about.

We are preparing a new planning scheme to respond to these and other emerging changes and shape Logan’s future. Logan Plan will help us keep what’s working well and improve what could be working better. It will focus on:

managing growth, housing choice and job opportunities in both the established and newer areas of our city
the design of our buildings, streets and landscapes, taking into account factors like sustainability and safety
improving how we manage and respond to natural hazards like flooding, taking a risk-based approach that provides stronger rules in higher risk areas and considers the impact of climate change (as required by State policy)
protecting and enhancing our environmental values, like our green spaces, waterways and wildlife.
