What is the minimum lot size for subdivision in Logan QLD?

In Logan, QLD, the minimum lot size for subdivision is not a single number; it depends entirely on the Zone and Precinct of your property. As of 2026, under the current Logan Planning Scheme, the "absolute minimum" for a standard residential lot is typically 300m², but this is only available in specific high-density precincts.

If you are looking to subdivide in areas like Logan Reserve, Beenleigh, or Slacks Creek, here is the breakdown of the current minimum lot sizes:

Residential Zone Minimums

• Low Density - Small Lot Precinct 300m²
• Low Density - Suburban Precinct 400m²
• Low Density - Village Precinct 500m²
• Low-Medium Density - Townhouse 500m²
• Low-Medium Density - Apartment 800m²

Large Lot & Rural Residential Minimums

• Large Suburban Precinct: 1,000m²
• Small Acreage Precinct: 2,000m²
• Acreage Precinct: 4,000m²
• Park Residential Precinct: 5,000m²

Key Factors Beyond Size

Meeting the minimum square meterage is only the first step. Logan City Council also assesses:

• Frontage Requirements: Most standard suburban lots require a minimum frontage of 10m to 15m depending on the precinct.
• The "Average Lot Size" Rule: In some older developments, Council previously required an average size across the whole subdivision, though recent amendments (like those in the Logan Plan 2025/2026) have shifted toward stricter individual minimums to ensure better community outcomes.
• Infrastructure & Overlays: If your land is affected by a Flood Overlay (which is being updated in 2026) or lacks direct access to sewer and water, subdivision may be restricted regardless of the lot size.
