Are you a Logan resident, homeowner, or property investor? Do you know how the new Logan Plan could impact your property's value, zoning, or future development potential? The Logan City Council's new draft planning scheme is a blueprint for the region's growth over the next two decades, and it's open for public feedback now. Learn how to get involved and ensure your financial future is protected.
The Logan Plan: What is it and why does it matter to you?
The Logan Plan is the new draft planning scheme designed by Logan City Council to guide future land use and development across the region. This blueprint for growth will shape the way our community lives, works, and plays for the next 10 to 20 years. For anyone who owns property, is looking to buy, or plans to invest in the Logan, Beenleigh, or Tamborine areas, understanding this plan is crucial. It directly impacts everything from zoning and housing density to flood risk management and future infrastructure.
How does the Logan Plan affect property values and investment?
Changes to the planning scheme can have a significant impact on property values and investment potential. For example, the Logan Plan aims to provide a greater choice of housing options, which could include new zones for terrace houses and other medium-density dwellings. This can create new opportunities for property investors and first home buyers, particularly in areas with a renewed focus on growth and development. The plan also includes updated flood risk mapping, which is essential information for anyone considering a purchase in the region. Understanding these changes early on can help you make informed decisions about where and what to buy.
The Community's Role: Your Chance to Have Your Say
At Ferns Finance Brokers, we believe in the importance of community involvement. That's why we're encouraging all our clients and local residents to participate in the public consultation for the Logan Plan. Your feedback is not just a suggestion; it is a critical component that will be used to refine and update the final plan before it is adopted.
The Logan City Council has explicitly invited the community to "have your say" to help shape the city's future. The public engagement period is a 9-week window, from Monday, September 1, 2025, to midnight on Friday, October 31, 2025.
What can you provide feedback on?
The council is seeking input on a range of topics that are vital to our local communities, including:
- Zoning and subdivision: How land is designated for different purposes.
- Housing choice and density: Where and what types of homes can be built.
- Management of natural hazards: New policies regarding flood risk and environmental values.
How to get involved:
There are over 50 engagement events planned across the city, providing in-person opportunities to discuss the plan with council staff. You can also submit written feedback online via the Logan Plan Library or by emailing LoganPlan@logan.qld.gov.au. This is your chance to voice your concerns and contribute to a plan that will define our region for decades to come.
Your Financial Plan and the Logan Plan: A Local Approach
For first home buyers, the Logan Plan may open up new opportunities for more affordable or diverse housing options, such as terrace housing, in key growth areas. For property investors, the changes in zoning and land use could identify new suburbs with strong potential for capital growth. For self-employed business owners, understanding where new commercial and industrial land is being allocated is crucial for future expansion.
