Logan Plan

About Logan Plan

Our new draft plan to guide Logan’s future growth has been approved by the Queensland Government to proceed to public consultation, expected to start in September 2025. You can preview the draft Logan Plan and learn more below.

Current status

We are planning a 9 week period of public consultation for our draft plan. There will be lots of opportunities to chat with our team (online, via phone, email and in person) and many resources available to help you understand what our plan means for your property and future development in our growing city. Further information will be available soon, including a schedule of engagement events and channels.

After providing our draft plan to the Queensland Government in September 2023, the State Interest Review required under the Planning Act 2016 was finally completed in June 2025. There have been a number of matters negotiated and changes applied to the draft plan. You can use the links above to the online viewer and PDF documents to see the latest draft (May 2025) approved by the Minister on 12 June 2025. During public consultation everyone can have their say on the draft Logan Plan to help shape future growth.

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.

Get Involved

Logan Plan is not yet open for public comment.

After the State Interest Review is completed, we can progress to public consultation and will then invite your feedback. We hope this will happen later in 2025.
