Logan PD Hub is a free and easy-to-use set of online tools to help with planning and development enquiries and services.
It provides useful information relating to the Logan Planning Scheme including interactive mapping of zones, overlays, local plans and other key elements. The mapping for the draft new planning scheme, Logan Plan, is also presented.
Start using Logan PD Hub
Logan PD Hub includes:
- property report (planning scheme zones and overlays, with further information including links to the flood report, applications lodged for the property and information about subdivision potential)
- estimators (for development fees, infrastructure charges)
- enquiry tools (planning, building and plumbing applications)
- as-constructed plans (drainage, water, sewer, stormwater)
- access to other helpful information including Queensland State Government mapping, lodging a development application online, Logan’s open data and information about the city’s economic and community profile.
Property search
You can find a property by entering the address, or part of the address, the lot/plan or property key. If you search by street address we suggest you type just the street number and name (e.g. 150 Wembley) and then pause to watch for results to select from. If your property has a range of street numbers (e.g. 19-23 Smith Street) please enter that range.
If you don’t know the street number for a property you can simply type the street name, select any property on that street and then go to the Mapping to locate the property on the street. You can use the Previous Properties button to see the 5 most recent properties you have selected, to make it easy to return to them.
Property report
You can select a property and find out information about that property, like its size and which division it is in, and also which parts of the planning scheme apply to it. You can select from a list of planning schemes and versions. You can run the report for one version and then open a new tab (by selecting Property Report from the burger menu) to run the Property Report for a different version or planning scheme, so that you can compare them.
The Property Report will show you:
- property information (address, size, division, link to Queensland Government’s SmartMap portal, so that you can see the survey plan and check if there are easements or covenants on the land)
- the zone, precinct and the local plan and precinct, if it applies - this includes a link to the Zone Report, to find out more about what that zone and precinct means, and a link to the Local Plan in the planning scheme viewer if applicable
- overlays, which are areas where a constraint or value exists and extra rules apply for development - this includes a show/hide map feature so that you can see how much of the property is impacted by the overlay, and a link (on the overlay name) to the Overlay code in the planning scheme, so that you can read the rules that apply to development in areas affected by the overlay
- links to other key information relevant for the property including the Flood Report, applications (planning, building, plumbing) and as-constructed plans
- information about subdivision potential for the property, based on the property’s area and the minimum lot size for new properties created through subdivision
- key trunk/regional infrastructure (like water mains, sewer pump stations, major roads) that is on, under or near the property.
Mapping
Use the interactive mapping to see information from the current Logan Planning Scheme and related aerial photos and base maps, like contours and road and property boundaries. Maps for the proposed new planning scheme, the draft Logan Plan, are also available.
Key features of the Mapping include:
- layer list which you can collapse/expand as needed, with the ability to turn map layers on or off
- ability to adjust transparency/opacity of map services so you can fade them out to see what’s underneath
- dynamic map legend (bottom right) which shows the symbology for the layers you currently have turned on in the map
- drawing, measuring, bookmark and printing functions
- basemap toggle for aerial imagery or topographic map
- property search box (can expand/collapse as needed).
If you click on a property you will see a pop-up box which displays basic property information, with an option to choose ‘Overlays’ and then see information relevant to the current planning scheme or the draft new planning scheme (Logan Plan). You can click on the zone to see the Zone Report and click the button to launch the Property Report.
Flood report
The Flood Report button provides direct access to the Logan Flood Portal, where you can view the latest risk mapping and maps from accepted flood studies. You can view a flood assessment for a selected property and get a more detailed property report. You can also visit our Flood page.
Planning enquiry
Find out where in Logan a particular activity or land use can be carried out or find out what activities or land uses are intended on a selected property. The report will tell you the criteria that trigger a development application and list applicable development codes from the Logan Planning Scheme. It will also tell you key things you need to consider like building height, lot sizes for subdivisions and setbacks.
Please note this tool is not available for the proposed new planning scheme, the draft Logan Plan.
Zone report
View a report for a selected zone (coming from the Property Report or mapping) showing the purpose of each zone along with key land use and development information for that zone from the Logan Planning Scheme or the draft Logan Plan, depending on which scheme is selected.
There is also further information about development in this zone, with links to the zone code in the planning scheme viewer, and the tables of assessment. The Tables of Assessment list the land uses intended in the zone, along with rules that guide whether or not a development application is required to be lodged with Council, and the codes (sets of rules) from the planning scheme which apply for that land use.
Development fees estimate
If a development application needs to be lodged with us you can get an estimate of the application fees, taking into account relevant discounts.
Development enquiry
Review applications in a list or on an interactive map, view application documents and see graphs about decided applications in the City of Logan. This includes town planning (development), building and plumbing applications.
You can click on a property and see a list of the applications on that property. Clicking on an application will take you to the application details view where you can see the plans, approvals and other documents relating to the development.
You can also search for applications based on criteria such as application type, key words, dates etc. and create views and alerts of development activity that interests you e.g. in a particular street or suburb, or a particular type of application.
Infrastructure charges estimate
Get an estimate of infrastructure charges applicable to a proposed development on a selected site. Where a development increases the load on trunk infrastructure networks like water supply, sewer, stormwater, movement, parks or land for community facilities, the developer may need to contribute towards the provision of those networks.
As-constructed plans
You can see domestic and commercial as-constructed plans for a selected property. These include available house drainage, water, sewer, stormwater and roadwork plans held by us. Limited information is available for some properties previously managed by the former Beaudesert or Gold Coast councils.

Is there a record kept of what I'm doing when I'm using the PD Hub?
The PD Hub keeps a search history of properties in your browser so you can go back to those properties. If you access the PD Hub on another device, the search history will start again. The PD Hub tracks the number of times particular tools and functions are used but does not record the user or any other information above what is tracked by Google.
Does it cost anything to use the PD Hub?

Why can't I find my property?
You can search for a property using the street address, lot and plan number or property key. We suggest you type the street number and name (e.g. 18 Long Avenue) and then pause. As you start typing in the search bar, potential matches will be listed. If you need to change the text, use the ‘X’ button on the search bar to clear your text and start typing again. If you're having difficulty using the text search, you can also use the interactive map to find your property.
Information for newly created properties, e.g. in new estates, as a result of subdivision, may not be available as the maps may not have been updated for that area. If you are not able to find a property, you may be able to use a nearby property for some tools. You can also contact our team for help.
Can I download data from the PD Hub?
You cannot download data from the PD Hub but you can print and save reports and maps as a PDF file. You can access raw datasets including development applications and planning scheme maps from Logan's Open Data portal.
