Local Laws and Planning Scheme

The process and procedures for Council's committee meeting are currently being reviewed with a view to developing a consolidated framework for meetings.

The Queensland Parliament recently passed legislation for amendments to the State Penalties Enforcement Regulation 2014. These amendments have resulted in an increase in the penalty for drivers who illegally use disability parking spaces.

Logan City Council has a long and positive history of working with volunteers for the mutual benefit of Council and community. The Parks branch manage volunteers in three programs;

• BushCare;
• TrailCare, and;
• Honorary Park Ranger.

All programs have been in operation for many years.

Council recently undertook a review of the Parks Volunteer Framework focusing on;

• Modernising Health and Safety practices;
• Increasing efficiencies;
• The rationalisation of resources, and;
• Improving the volunteer experience.

In 2009 the state government earmarked Park Ridge South and Chambers Flat for future urban development. This is reflected in the South East Queensland Regional Plan 2017 (the regional plan) where the area is included within the Urban Footprint, meaning that detailed land use and infrastructure planning is to be undertaken by Council.

This consultation has concluded.

The City of Logan is growing, and the way land is used and developed makes an important difference to our future.

This growth is guided by the Logan Planning Scheme 2015, together with regional and state plans and Queensland planning laws. Logan City Council makes amendments to the Logan Planning Scheme to keep it current.

The industry thresholds within the Logan Planning Scheme 2015 set the level of assessment for a range of industrial uses. The current thresholds are considered to be unnecessarily prescriptive and Council therefore proposes to amend these thresholds.

This consultation has concluded.
