| Logan City is the geographical centre of South Queensland and part of one of the fastest growing regions in Australian. Located in southeast Queensland’s most prominent growth corridor, Logan is one of the most progressive, yet youngest cities in the state. Since being granted city status in 1981, Logan’s population has increased to 170,000 making it the third largest city in Queensland. With over half the population under the age of 30, Logan’s vision is to develop as a city for family, home and lifestyle. Logan’s location midway between Brisbane and the Gold Coast means it offers the best of both worlds for both business and residential living. Major road networks connect Logan with all southeast Queensland centres including Brisbane, Ipswich and the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast. Over 3500 major businesses are headquartered in Logan, providing the city with an annual turnover in excess of $800 million. Most are concentrated in the service and retail sectors, with some light manufacturing. Logan’s own world class entertainment centre capable of addressing 1500 people has proved to be a popular venue as it is only a 20 minute drive from Brisbane Airport and 30 minutes from the Gold Coast. Logan not only has its own large public hospital but boasts a very large private hospital as well. Logan has a modern aquatic and sporting complexes, two museums, an art gallery, five libraries, and over 470 parks and environmental reserves including waterfront and river recreational areas. Residents have also been provided with over 80kms of bikeways for safe peaceful cycling. Besides exceptional sporting and recreational facilities Logan boasts some of the best public and private schools in the state. There are over 30 pre-schools, 38 state schools, 13 non-government schools, one special school and eight special school units. The institute of Tafe and Griffith University also have their own Logan Campuses, thus allowing Logan Residents to be educated from Kindergarten to University in their home city. An efficient public transport system of buses, trains, and taxis operate through out the city. City train links Logan, to the west to Toogoolawah and Helidon, to the south to the Gold Coast and Tweed Heads and to the north to Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, Noosa and Gympie. With a surface area of only250sqkm, combining residential and industrial development with environmental management is a challenge for Logan’s Planners. Councils integrated approach to strategic management means all departments works closely together to ensure an equal balance is achieved between the city’s residential and industrial growth and its preservation and enhancement of natural areas for future generations. |
