Economy and growth - Quarter 1, 2024 / 2025

Project name Target Status Commentary
EG5.1.1 - 2032 City of Logan Legacy Roadmap June 2025 On Track The City of Logan Legacy Roadmap (Roadmap) was endorsed by Council on 13 June 2023 (Minute No. 52/2023).

In the first quarter of 2024/25, planning commenced for a Community Forum to seek feedback on the initiatives in the Roadmap. It is anticipated that the Forum will be held in March 2025.

Progress was also made on a number of identified initiatives in the Roadmap, including:

Deliver new community facilities and infrastructure

  • Council continued to work with the Queensland Government and Games Venues and Legacy Delivery Authority to progress and finalise the Detailed Business Case for the Logan Indoor Sports Centre. In September the Australian and Queensland Governments announced funding to build the multipurpose 9-court indoor sports centre in Logan Central. Council and the Games Delivery Authority executed one of the project agreements (Initiative No.1).
  • Internal discussions commenced relating to carbon offset programs (Initiative No. 8).
  • Stimulate economic growth
  • Progress was made on the short-term accommodation study to understand demand drivers and delivery constraints (Initiative No.11)
  • Discussions commenced with industry specialists regarding attracting pre-games training camps (Initiative No. 13).

Improve the health of Logan residents

  • Council supported an NFL Flag Come and Try day in July, with a second event scheduled for the second quarter of 2024/25 (Initiative No.10).
  • Leverage the cultural diversity of the Logan community
  • Working with partners to investigate barriers to volunteerism across multicultural groups (Initiative 4).

It is proposed to clarify the project description by amending the action and outcome statements to:
Action: Progress the feasibility analysis and delivery of 2024/25 identified initiatives and priorities of the 2032 City of Logan Legacy Roadmap.
Outcome: Logan can leverage the opportunities that the 2032 Games offer, including:
  • deliver new community facilities and infrastructure
  • stimulate economic growth
  • improve the health of Logan residents
  • leverage the cultural diversity of the Logan community.

The purpose of this amendment is to more accurately align planned deliverables and outcomes for 2024/25 to the endorsed Roadmap. Since endorsement in June 2024, future deliverables have been more clearly identified, including those for the 2024/25 financial year. The revised project description better reflects this alignment.
EG5.5.1 - Logan Plan Public Consultation June 2025 Monitor Council is awaiting advice from the Queensland Government (State) on several matters. The State recently advised that Council's updated growth projections are satisfactory, however direction on key matters remains outstanding. For this reason, the project is reported as monitor. A report will be presented to Council in November, 2024 to advise status and seek direction.  

It is proposed to amend the project name to:
Logan Plan Public Consultation

The reference to 2025 is to be removed due to the negotiations with the State having extended beyond 12 months with little progress, therefore the Logan Plan date is no longer viable. 

It is further proposed to clarify the project description by amending the action statement to:
Action: Progress the State Interest Review with the Queensland Government to achieve approval for statutory (formal) public consultation for Logan's proposed new planning scheme. 

This reflects the State's direction mid-year to extend the State Interest Review period to improve alignment with the updated SEQ Regional Plan prior to State approval of the draft scheme for public consultation. Officers are still waiting to receive clear information on the required changes. Further delays will result from the caretaker period ahead of the State election and the potential machinery of government changes.
