PD Hub
Logan PD Hub is a central, easy-to-use set of online tools that help with planning and development enquiries and services.
It provides useful information relating to the Logan Planning Scheme including interactive mapping of zones, overlays, local plans and other key elements.
Features and functionality
Logan PD Hub includes:
- property reports (planning scheme zones and overlays, flooding)
- estimators (for development fees, infrastructure charges, environmental offsets)
- enquiry tools (planning and land use, development applications)
- as-constructed plans (drainage, water, sewer, stormwater)
- access to other helpful information including Queensland State Government mapping, lodging a development application online, Logan’s open data and information about the city’s economic and community profile.
You may find that the Google Chrome internet browser works best for these tools.
Overview of key features
Key features of the Logan PD Hub are listed below.
Property search
You can find a property by entering the address, or part of the address, the lot/plan or property key. You can also find a property using a map search or by clicking on the interactive map. A history of your property selections is kept so that you can easily return to them.
Property report
You can select a property and find out information about that property, like its size and which division it is in, and also which parts of the Logan Planning Scheme apply. The parts listed will include the zones and precincts, local plans and precincts, overlays (including how much of the property is affected/constrained), and any key regional infrastructure (like water mains, sewer pump stations, major roads) that is on, under or near the property.
Map browser, interactive mapping
Use the interactive map to see information from the Logan Planning Scheme and related aerial photos and base maps, like contours and road and property boundaries. Map layers can be turned on or off. Drawing, measuring and printing functions are available. 3D mapping features are also available in major centres like Springwood, Beenleigh, Logan Central and Meadowbrook.
Flood report
The Flood Report button provides direct access to the Logan Flood Portal, where you can view the latest risk mapping and maps from accepted flood studies. You can also view a flood assessment for a selected property and get a more detailed property report. You can also visit our Flood page.
Planning enquiry
Find out where in Logan a particular activity or land use can be carried out, or find out what activities or land uses are intended on a selected property. The report will tell you the criteria that trigger a development application and list applicable development codes from the Logan Planning Scheme. It will also tell you key things you need to consider like building height, lot sizes for subdivisions and setbacks.
Zone enquiry
View a map of zoning across the city and receive a report for a selected zone showing how much of Logan it covers in percent, area and a list of suburbs. Key land use and development information for that zone from the Logan Planning Scheme is also included on the report.
Development fees estimate
If a development application needs to be lodged with us you can get an estimate of the application fees, taking into account relevant discounts.
Development enquiry
Review applications in a list or on an interactive map, view application documents and see graphs about decided applications in the City of Logan. This includes town planning (development), building and plumbing applications. You can click on a property and see a list of the applications on that property. Clicking on an application will take you to the application details view where you can see the plans, approvals and other documents relating to the development. You can also search for applications based on criteria such as application type, key words, dates etc. and create views and alerts of development activity that interests you e.g. in a particular street or suburb, or a particular type of application.
Infrastructure charges estimate
Get an estimate of infrastructure charges applicable to a proposed development on a selected site. Where a development increases the load on trunk infrastructure networks like water supply, sewer, stormwater, movement, parks or land for community facilities, the developer may need to contribute towards the provision of those networks.
Environmental offset estimate
Find out any fees associated with proposed vegetation clearing on a selected site. You can draw the area to be cleared on a map of the site and then submit a request for an estimate of applicable offsets. A report with the estimated fees and other detailed information will be emailed to you.
As-constructed plans
You can see domestic and commercial as-constructed plans for a selected property. These include available house drainage, water, sewer, stormwater and roadwork plans held by us. Limited information is available for some properties previously managed by the former Beaudesert or Gold Coast councils.
Sports Site Plan
Create a plan for a sports facility on a selected site by placing items on the map. The items are designed and pre-configured to meet the requirements for relevant sports e.g. playing fields, clubrooms, parking areas, spectator facilities, etc. Guidelines are available.

If you're having difficulty using the text search, you can also use the interactive map to find your property.
Information for newly created properties, e.g. in new estates, as a result of subdivision, may not be available as the maps may not have been updated for that area. If you are not able to find a property, you may be able to use a nearby property for some tools. You can also contact our team for help.
Can I download data from the PD Hub?
