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

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.

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.

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.
3D models for the major centres at Springwood, Logan Central, Beenleigh and Meadowbrook are available for viewing on the Interactive Mapping tool in the Logan PD Hub. You can navigate to one of the centres and select the 3D tab.
The 3D models map (PDF 3.74 MB) outlines the capture areas for the 3D models and the location of each centre within Logan.
