About Logan Plan

We’re completing the State Interest Review with the Queensland Government, required under the Planning Act 2016.  We hope to invite public feedback on our new draft planning scheme later in 2025.  You can preview the current draft and learn more below.

Current status

Our draft plan to guide Logan’s future growth was endorsed by Council in August 2023 and submitted to the Queensland Government for review.

We have negotiated a number of matters with the Queensland Government and applied some changes to our draft plan. The review was extended after the updated South East Queensland Regional Plan was released in December 2023. The State election and change of government in October 2024 further extended the review. 

In March 2025 our updated draft plan was endorsed by Council and resubmitted to the Queensland Government to complete the State Interest Review. When we have the Minister’s approval, we can move to public consultation. We will then invite everyone to have their say and help shape the future of our growing city.

The table below outlines the process and timeframe for progressing Logan Plan. Activities marked with an asterisk (*) involve the Queensland Government and may result in timeframes being extended.

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.
