Beenleigh Streetscape Masterplan

The Beenleigh Streetscape Masterplan respects and builds upon the unique historical strip retail character of the centre. It aims to create a safe and enjoyable place for visitors and locals. It focusses on three core outcomes:

  • restore
  • reconnect
  • reinvigorate.

These three core outcomes will help improve amenity, economic vitality and social cohesion to the town centre over time.

Beenleigh Streetscape Upgrades

We have enhanced key streets and laneways in the town centre to improve public safety and access by:

  • wider footpaths
  • improved signage
  • more pedestrian crossings.

New seating and feature lighting has led to increased pedestrian activity both during the day and at night. This will support local businesses with more passing trade.

The Beenleigh Streetscape Upgrades were a joint initiative of Logan City Council and the Queensland Government. It also received an Australian Urban Design Commendation Award in 2022.

Smart Parking

Council installed parking sensors that give user-friendly real-time parking information. Motorists can locate vacant car spaces by using the parkspot app on their smart phones. The sensors give detailed data on parking occupancy and duration. This data will help guide future parking provision in the Town Centre.

Wayfinding and Signage

Council installed new signage to assist people to find their way around Beenleigh. The unique signage design includes a universally recognizable pictogram design for easy recognition by all community members. A unique signage suite has been designed and includes: directional finger signs, pedestrian information maps and digital parking signs which will be progressively installed across the town centre.

Vehicles will be permitted via controlled access to the shared Parkway at a slow speed (10km/h) during daylight hours. This will provide more parking options and improved access for visitors to enjoy the gardens. Lighting and CCTV will improve safety with increased visitation to the area.

The project is jointly funded by the State Government and Council. Council will use funds from the Logan Central Implementation Fund.

The project is currently in the construction phase.

The community was invited to provide feedback on the concept design and submit other ideas for the Logan Gardens between November 2022 and January 2023.

For more information see the project page.

Civic and Community Precinct Plan (June 2021)

The purpose of the Logan Central Civic and Community Precinct Plan, endorsed June 2020, is to provide an integrated long-term vision for the precinct. The plan supports the development of a safe and healthy community along with the city’s sustainability strategy.

The Logan Central Civic and Community Precinct Plan provides an integrated framework to reposition the precinct within Logan and South-East Queensland.

The precinct plan is designed to achieve maximum economic, lifestyle and sustainability benefits for the community by providing clear development recommendations for this pivotal city land parcel.

The plan identifies practical strategies that will uplift the wellbeing of the urban setting and increase the sites visitor and resident populations by embracing and growing Logan’s most valuable and undervalued assets, its people, their energy, and diversity of culture.

The Precinct Plan reconnects parts of the precinct through the insertion of a street network that unlocks full use of the whole precinct. The plan centres the precinct energy to the centre through:

  • ideas of activation
  • blending higher density residential uses into the local neighbourhood
  • provides a greater choice for access and mobility
  • challenges the trend of traffic-dominated streets, reshaping them for the enjoyment of the community
  • envisioning a greener, cooler, better connected public experience.

In repositioning the precinct, we can create a place where the city’s diverse and vibrant community come together to learn, do business, celebrate and socialise. Bringing people together will:

  • improve strategic and social interaction
  • drive increased residential, civic, allied health, recreational and commercial site populations

The Greater Springwood Master Plan was endorsed in October 2009 to guide the future growth of Springwood to 2031. The plan addressed the development opportunities and challenges of the area. It responded to the requirements of the South East Queensland Regional Plan 2009–2031 and community/stakeholder expectations.

The Master Plan informed the Springwood Local Plan, which was incorporated into the Logan Planning Scheme (refer to the Springwood Local Plan in Part 7), and now guides decision making in this area.

Slacks Creek

Slacks Creek Implementation Plan

The Slacks Creek Implementation Plan(PDF, 24MB) identifies and prioritises a number of place-based actions that contributes to delivering the vision for Slacks Creek. Following the Springwood Summit several key initiatives and actions were endorsed by Council which informed the Springwood Implementation Plan (2019). The Slacks Creek Implementation Plan has extracted the Slacks Creek specific actions from Springwood Implementation Plan, and has been created to reflect projects delivered since 2019 and updates to the Slacks Creek place-based actions for the next five-year period (2023 to 2028).

Slacks Creek priority projects completed

Slacks Creek Green Link – Stage 1 (Baker Street to Moss Street)

The project was completed in May 2020 and now connects Compton Road with Moss Street by the creation of a new 3m wide shared pathway. The pathway will meanders through parkland with a new bridge to connect both sides of the creek and includes improved landscaping in the Slacks Creek Catchment, shade structures, bins and lighting, and integration of cycling infrastructure with open space and public art.
