Area Profile
Park Ridge
QUEENSLAND
Covering approximately 17 square kilometres, Park Ridge is a rural, residential suburb located in
south-east Queensland. Forming part of Logan City, the suburb is ideally situated between Brisbane
City, Ipswich and the Gold Coast, offering residents the best of both city and coastal lifestyles.
The region is equipped with an array of shopping, educational and health care facilities. There is also
an excellent transport network that services the community and several parks positioned throughout
the region perfect for outdoor activities.
Due to its close proximity to major employment areas including Brisbane, Logan City is a hotspot for
investors and is quickly becoming a sought-after location. The growing region is set to experience an
influx of housing developments to accommodate the increasing population which is expected to hit
half a million people in the next two decades.
MAJOR PROJECTS & DEVELOPMENTS
The following are a sample of the major projects and developments either currently underway or in the
pipeline in Park Ridge and the surrounding region:
PACIFIC MOTORWAY (M1) UPGRADE – The $749
million Eight Mile Plains to Daisy Hill upgrade of the M1
will focus on improvements between the Gateway
Motorway and Loganlea Road. This project is Stage Two
of a rolling program of M1 upgrades. Construction is set to
begin early 2020 providing reduced travel time aiding
congestion and improved safety. Also being completed is
the missing link for the V1 Veloway which will allow safer
travel for cyclists. Commuters will also benefit with the
extension offering more reliable public transport options.
MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT – Proposed plans for a $160
million ten level mixed-use development in Springwood
have recently been approved, providing an influx of
investment opportunities to the Logan City area. The one-
stop entertainment and accommodation destination is
envisioned to be Springwood’s version of Fortitude Valley’s
Emporium and will include an 85-room hotel, over 100
residential apartments, a cinema and rooftop bar, as well
as several retail and dining facilities. It is expected that the
development will boost tourism and support job growth in
the region.
DISTILLERY ROAD MARKET – Situated in Beenleigh
halfway between the Gold Coast and Brisbane, Distillery
Road Market will be the next great food market. Set to
open late 2020/early 2021 this once commercial
17,000sqm warehouse is now being turned into a space
for families, as well as tourists to enjoy the growing
trend of retail, dining and social experiences. DRM will
be unlike anything south-east Queensland has seen and
will emulate experiences such as Chelsea Market in
New York, Borough Market in London and The Grounds
of Alexandria in Sydney.
LOGAN HOSPITAL EXPANSION – $460 million has been
invested into Logan Hospital to add 206 additional beds, a
Mental Health Decision Unit, Acute Care of the Elderly and
Chemotherapy Day Therapy. Also included is upgraded
maternity and birthing services, four new floors and the
refurbishment of existing buildings. This is the states
largest ever hospital expansion delivering a 48% increase
on the existing bed capacity to meet the needs of the ever-
growing community. The project is expected to take five
years.
POPULATION Logan City is set to continue being one of the fastest growing cities in Queensland well into the future. According to recently published data by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), the city’s population currently stands at 326,615 being the eighth largest populated local government in Australia. Of that population 3,744 residents live in Park Ridge. Making up 15.5% of Queensland’s total population, Logan City has shown consistent growth over the past ten years which is only expected to continue. Experts predict the region is set to increase to 490,522 by 2036, supporting Queensland’s population projection of 6.7 million over the next 18 years. HOUSING & INVESTMENT Logan City has been identified as one of Australia’s property hot spots, offering outstanding value for investors. Making up 5.8% of Queensland’s total dwellings with 85% of dwellings in the region being standalone 3-4 bedroom houses, Logan City’s property market has boomed due to its constant high rental demand, affordability and proximity to major employment areas such as Brisbane City. House price growth in Park Ridge has averaged 2.4% over the past ten years. The region also has a strong rental market with over half of the dwellings in the suburb occupied by tenants. The rapidly developing Western Corridor is set to generate a high proportion of south-east Queensland’s new housing stock. By 2031, approximately 70,000 additional dwellings will be required to accommodate Logan City’s expected growth, population increase and demographic change.
ECONOMY & EMPLOYMENT The City of Logan continues to be a strong economic performer within Queensland with no signs of slowing down. The city has a current estimated Gross Regional Product (GRP) of $12.5 billion as at 30 June showing with consistent growth recorded over the past 10 years. There are several key industries that support the city’s growing economy including health care and social assistance, construction, retail trade, education and training, and manufacturing. These five industries make up over half of the city’s total employment with construction being the largest employer in the region. Logan City also has a strong business base that generates an estimated 115,000 local jobs with over 21,000 businesses operating in the region. The city has a number of major developments currently planned, all of which will have a significant impact on the regional economy and south-east Queensland.
AMENITY OVERVIEW
Park Ridge is located between Mount Lindesay Highway and Chambers Flat Road and has an arterial road
running horizontally through the suburb. Due to the suburb’s positioning, it takes just over ten minutes by
car to access the Logan Motorway and only 15 minutes to get to the Gateway Motorway.
Given its central geographic location and available young workforce, Park Ridge is ideally placed for
continued growth in the south-east Queensland region.

Logan Jobs Bonanza
20 August 2020
City of Logan Mayor Darren Power Point Corp Director Chris Vitale and Deputy Mayor Jon Raven.
Up to 6000 jobs will be created at one of Queensland’s largest industrial projects.
The $1.5 billion Crestmead Logistics Estate will be developed over the next five years by Queensland
developer Point Corp and will deliver 650,000 sqm of warehousing, business, logistics and
manufacturing space.
Stage one of the projects will be completed in December. The 36-hectare parcel was purchased by
Singapore’s Maple tree Investments for $90 million. It will develop a $440 million logistics park
spanning 200,000 sqm.
City of Logan Mayor Darren Power visited the site today with Queensland Treasurer and Member for
Woodridge Cameron Dick.
Cr Power said the nine-stage project was a “game-changer” for South East Queensland.
“This project is a strong endorsement for investment in our city and will create thousands of jobs for
locals,” he said.
“Council is committed to ensuring that Logan remains an attractive place for businesses to establish
and grow.
“Our city is facing economic challenges like many others around the country with COVID-19 impacts
and this sends a clear message that Logan is open for business.”
Cr Power said, ‘Logan well and truly punched above its weight’ and was fast establishing itself as a
hub for major transport and logistics in Queensland.
“There are vast investment opportunities in Logan for companies in the manufacturing, transport and
logistics industries and we anticipate this growth in the commercial and industrial sector to continue,”
he said.
“We are seeing a platform of investment across the city where multinationals are setting up
headquarters and securing land that is affordable and abundant.
“This location benefits significantly from the recently upgraded Wembley Road Interchange, providing
occupiers with efficient access to a network of roads servicing greater Brisbane, South East
Queensland and key interstate transport routes.”
Cr Power said planning support and guidance from Council would also enhance development
outcomes and assist in job creation and long-term employment opportunities within the region.
Located within the Logan City Council industrial corridor, Crestmead Logistics Estate is accessible to
the Logan and Gateway Motorways, which are the main transport arterials for SEQ.
Queensland Treasurer and Member for Woodridge Cameron Dick said the potential of the estate was
obvious, making it an exciting addition to Logan’s industrial landscape.
“Job creation is so important right now given the current global economic climate,” Mr Dick said.Supporting Articles
“COVID-19 has had a huge impact on every community in our state, Logan included. A development
of this size will make a great difference when it comes to boosting employment locally.
“We’re seeing this already with construction workers on site, and once businesses begin setting up
shop here those job numbers are going to grow, both in the estate and along industry supply chains.
“This project complements our government’s $6.2 billion COVID economic recovery strategy, Unite
and Recover for Queensland Jobs, and will help the City of Logan emerge from the pandemic
stronger and best placed to prosper.”
The project, on the corner of Green and Clarke Roads, has been amalgamated over a five-year
period and adds to an existing 170,000 sqm of commercial activity underway or planned in Logan
over the next 12 months.

Road Maintenance Creates Solid Network for City Growth
24 June 2019
Council has listened to Logan residents and will spend more than $230 million to deliver a safer city
road network over the coming 12 months.
Results from the 2018 Logan Listens: Residents Survey affirmed that upkeep of the city’s roads and
drainage services remains a primary focus for Logan residents.
Logan’s road network includes approximately 2270 kilometres of sealed road spread across 950
square kilometres.
Logan City Council Road and Water Infrastructure Acting Director Daryl Reilly said an increase to
Council’s road maintenance budget was required to properly service the city’s existing road network
and ensure it can cater for ongoing growth.
“Council has listened to feedback from the community, particularly the Residents Survey, which
indicated having good and well-maintained road infrastructure is a high priority for residents,” he said.
“To ensure Council continues to maintain Logan's ever-increasing road network, more than $10
million has been allocated to boost the annual road maintenance budgets over the next five years.
“The budget increase will improve the level of service, provide equivalent maintenance to new
sections of the network and allow Council to respond to the challenges associated with a growing city.
“Not only is Council committed to maintenance of the road network but we also take road safety very
seriously and have increased the line marking budget by $5.2 million over the next five years to
improve the prominence of line marking across the city.
“Improved line marking creates safer roads – in particular increasing the visibility of roads at night and
in wet conditions.”
Mr Reilly said $150,000 would also be made available to complete the Find and Grind footpath
program, to create a safer pedestrian environment around the city for residents and visitors.
“This program of work will allow for lifted sections of footpath to be ground down, rather than replacing
the sections of footpath at a much greater cost,” he said.
“Having a program to proactively grind displaced paths will help us to provide a safer network of paths
for the city.”
Residents can notify Council if they have concerns over the condition of a concrete footpath.
Providing as much information as possible will assist Council in responding to hazards promptly.
If possible, including a photograph is also helpful.
Members of the public can call Council on 3412 3412, send an email to
roadmaintenance@logan.qld.gov.au or lodge a request via Council’s website.

Water Charges Frozen for A Third Year
24 June 2019
Logan City Council has frozen water and sewerage charges for the third year in a row to help reduce
financial pressures on households.
The rates freeze comes as Council rolls out a significant program of new water and wastewater
projects for 2019/20.
Logan City Council Road and Water Infrastructure Acting Director Daryl Reilly, said Council was
committed to ensuring the development of the city’s water and wastewater networks remained ahead
of demand, while maintaining affordability of services for residents.
“Logan City Council is committed to minimising the cost of essential services such as water while still
maintaining and investing in the infrastructure necessary to service our city,” Mr Reilly said.
“We are continuing to enhance the efficiency of our water and wastewater services, which means we
have been able to approve a significant capital works program in 2019/20 without adding to the
financial burden on our ratepayers.”
Mr Reilly said the only increase ratepayers would notice on their water bills was related to the cost of
bulk water purchased by the city from the State Government.
That charge has increased by 3.5 per cent this financial year.
Mr Reilly said in addition to the new projects being rolled out, Logan City Council would maintain and
service an existing water network that includes 2285km of wastewater mains, 2345km of water supply
mains, 134 wastewater pump stations, 4 wastewater treatment plants, 27 water pump stations, 40
water supply reservoirs and 10 chlorination facilities.
Among the projects approved for 2019/20 are:
• Cedar Grove Environmental Centre Stage 1: $26.1 million
• Greenbank to Flagstone Central wastewater conveyance system: $25.6 million
• Flagstone Central to Cedar Grove Environmental Centre conveyance infrastructure: $17.5 million
• Bahrs Scrub Wastewater Conveyance system: $7.8 million
• Renewal and Improvement of the city’s water supply network: $13.5 million
• Renewal and upgrade of the city’s wastewater network: $9.7 million
• Renewal and upgrade of the city’s wastewater treatment plants: $5.8 million
• Smart/Digital metering project: $1.3 million
Council’s 2019/20 water and wastewater pricing is:
• Water base charge: $299.20 (remains unchanged)
• Wastewater charge: $706.40 (remains unchanged)
• Water consumption charge per kilolitre: $4.0394 (made up of Council’s retail charge of $1.0224,
frozen for the third year in a row, and the State Government’s bulk water charge of $3.0170, which
increased by 3.5 per cent)

High Priority Placed on Environment Projects
24 June 2019
More than $8.5million will be spent in 2019/20 on a range of environment-based projects to ensure a
greener, sustainable and more carbon-neutral city.
The funding will come from 2019/20 Environmental Levy.
Some of Council’s key ongoing environment-based programs include:
• Albert and Logan River Vision projects
• Slacks Creek and Scrubby Creek Recovery projects
• Land for Wildlife and Habitat Connections projects
• Environmental grants and incentives
• Carbon reduction and energy management projects
• Bushland maintenance and Bushcare
• A range of free and low cost environmental events and activities
• Maintenance of over 300 environmental parks and reserves
• Aquatic and environmental weed control
Council has been an active, contributing member of the Healthy Land and Water organisation since
its inception in 2001.
The City of Logan places an extremely high priority on its responsibility to manage and improve the
health of the Logan and Albert Rivers which traverse the city and flow into other council areas.
To ensure the delivery of the Waterways Ecosystem Health Monitoring program, the annual Healthy
Land and Water Report Card, Water by Designs projects and Healthy Water Play resources, the
Budget allocates $836,610 to allow Council to enter a new three-year membership with Healthy Land
and Water from 2019-2022.
An additional $239,054 has been set aside to ensure Council has representation in the Council of
Mayors South-East Queensland’s Resilient Rivers Program.
The program includes the Logan-Albert Catchment Action Plan that encourages and supports private
landowners to take riparian restoration along the river banks to reduce erosion and sediment being
washed into the waterways.
It also includes the removal and management of exotic vines, in particular the invasive Cats Claw
Creeper, and the planting and restoration of native habitats.
Council also continues to support the City of Gold Coast’s investigation into the removal of Luscombe
Weir to the construction of a fish-way to allow fish to migrate into the upper reaches of the Albert
River catchment.
The health of the Albert River upper reaches continues to improve with a recent study scientifically
proving the presence of platypus at seven different sites.
Council, in collaboration with the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland, used environmental
DNA (eDNA) technology to test water samples in the Albert River and its tributaries, with a particular
focus on the Cedar Creek, Wolffdene and Bannockburn reaches.Supporting Articles
Data confirmed that platypus are living in three stretches of the river – two sites at Wolffdene and
another at Cedar Creek – while samples at four other sites – two at Wolffdene, one at Cedar Creek
and another at Tamborine – contained small amounts of platypus DNA.
The City of Logan has 2362km of waterways, 2633 hectares of wetlands and 930 parks.
In the last financial year, Council planted more than 78,000 trees and 5130 native plants, shrubs and
grasses across a range of projects that reinforced the commitment to create an improved and
sustainable environment.
In the coming year it is estimated more than $2.4million will be available from the Environmental Levy
reserve balance to fund strategic environmental land acquisitions to further preserve natural bushland
spaces and fauna habitats.
To fund 2019/20 projects, the city-wide Environmental Levy will increase $2 per rateable property.

Summits Shape Exciting Futures for City Centres
24 June 2019
Two key city centres in Logan will receive $10 million in funding to deliver projects that will drive
investment and economic growth.
Meadowbrook’s evolution into a health and wellbeing precinct will be boosted with $5 million, with
another $5 million set aside to unlock the economic potential of Logan Central.
Logan City Council Strategy and Sustainability Director David Hansen, said funding for the city
centres was set aside following successful Council-hosted summits last year.
Officers from Council’s Economic Development and Strategy team collated the feedback from summit
attendees and community members to compile a list of priority projects.
“This funding means we can take these projects from being ideas on paper through to the planning,
detailed designed, and ultimately delivery stages,” Mr Hansen said.
“Meadowbrook is well-placed to become a leading health precinct.
“It is already home to the Logan Hospital, Griffith University and TAFE campuses, making it Logan's
prime site for health care and advanced education.
“This funding will allow for infrastructure upgrades along Loganlea Road, such as a new pedestrian
crossing between the hospital and shopping centre, as well as projects aimed at attracting health-care
and education investment to the area.
“Logan Central is another significant city centre, incorporating Council offices and chambers, the
Logan Entertainment Centre, major retail centres and a richly diverse community.
“This funding will allow Council to proceed with projects that stimulate the local economy and enhance
its standing as the cultural centre of Logan.”
Some of the key projects identified for Logan Central include:
• A shared pathway and promenade from Wembley Rd to Logan Gardens, connecting to the
upcoming water park, incorporating gathering spaces, street furniture, lighting and public art
• Free Wi-Fi to Logan Gardens
• A Streetscape Masterplan for the Croydon Road Precinct, including Croydon Road and its
laneways, Station Road, Railway Parade and Blackwood Road and delivery of streetscape upgrades
• Place Branding, Centre Activation and Building Improvement Strategies aimed to improve place
identity, improving a night time economy and encouraging land owners and business to invest in
upgrades to shop fronts
Projects for Meadowbrook include:
• Delivering a new pedestrian crossing on Loganlea Road between Logan Hospital and Meadowbrook
Woolworths Shopping Centre
• Create a 'Meadowbrook Leadership Group' comprising of key stakeholders to champion
Meadowbrook as Logan’s premier destination for health-care and education investment
• Implement works to start the transformation of Loganlea Road into a 'Healthy Street', including
street scaping and street trees, an improved pedestrian environment and off-road cycle infrastructure
• Develop a transport and parking strategy for Meadowbrook, including a feasibility study for multi-
level car parkingSupporting Articles
In addition to the above funding, an initial $300,000 has been set aside for the planning of place-
making projects and programs for Jimboomba, to deliver on the key outcomes from the Jimboomba
Summit, Council’s most recent summit.
Jimboomba’s centre provides essential retail, commercial, community and educational services to the
regional community, including the rapidly-growing Flagstone development.
About 200 community members and business owners attended the March event to give their
feedback on projects that could meet the needs of a growing community and boost the local
economy. A list of priority projects is still to be determined.
In previous budgets, $5 million was allocated to Beenleigh and Springwood following similar summits
in those locations.

Increased Financial Support for Our Seniors
24 June 2019
Pensioners will receive an increased remission on their general rates at a level well above bottom line
rates increase under Logan City Council’s 2019/20 Budget.
The remission will increase by 2.95 per cent, almost double the Brisbane inflation rate (Consumer
Price Index) of 1.5 per cent and Council’s bottom line rate increase of 1.49 per cent.
A remission of up to $349.20 per year will now be available to owner-occupiers on the maximum rate
pension, an increase of $10 on last year’s remission.
Those on a non-maximum pension will receive a remission of up to $174.60 per year.
Council also offers eligible pensioners on a maximum rate pension a remission of up to 10 per cent
per year on household garbage charges, and non-maximum rate pensioners a remission of up to 5
per cent per year.
The remissions are just some of the many services Council offers our valued seniors in the Logan
community.
The Council Cab Service enables seniors to travel from their home to the nearest major shopping
centre for only $2 per person each way.
The initiative is subsidised by Council with 13cabs providing the service.
Logan City Council also offers a Senior Pets for Senior People program where Logan's older lost and
abandoned animals are rehoused with seniors free of charge.
The contribution of seniors to the Logan community is also celebrated each year with Logan Loves
Seniors Day, which promotes positive attitudes towards older people and highlights the many local
activities and services open to senior citizens.
The next Logan Loves Seniors Day is on August 20, 2019, at the Logan Entertainment Centre. The
program includes a free expo, low-cost concerts and the announcement of the City of Logan’s 2019
Senior Ambassador.
In addition to council’s services, the State Government provides a 20 per cent subsidy on rates and
charges to a maximum of $200 per year, as well as a 20 per cent subsidy on the State Emergency
Levy.
The State Government's Pensioner Water Subsidy Scheme also provides an annual subsidy up to a
maximum of $120 off the cost of water utility (water access and volumetric usage) charges.
To be eligible for a remission on rates the ratepayer must be the owner/part owner or life tenant of the
property, live on the property permanently and have one of the following:
• A current Queensland Centrelink Pensioner Concession Card
• A Department of Veterans' Affairs Gold Card or Pensioner Concession Card

KBF Precinct Set to Become Major Events Destination
24 June 2019
The redeveloped Kingston Butter Factory (KBF) Precinct will become the new home of large-scale
entertainment in Logan in 2020.
The space will become the City of Logan’s largest outdoor venue, with a permanent stage and
capacity for 5000 people.
It will be positioned to attract national and international touring acts, as well as festivals, markets and
signature local events.
Located adjacent to the Kingston railway station, the venue will not only be a boost for Logan
residents but will be easily accessible for visitors and those who live in neighbouring cities including
Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
Ahead of its opening next year, Council has allocated funding to create an exciting program of events
for the outdoor space that will appeal to all ages and ensure the KBF Precinct becomes a highly
valued destination.
The outdoor space is part of the Kingston Butter Factory Precinct Redevelopment Project, which
includes transforming the historic butter factory building into Logan's first purpose-designed innovation
hub.
While the interior of the building will reflect its new, cutting-edge purpose, the historic façade will be
preserved to maintain its heritage value.
Logan City Council Acting CEO Silvio Trinca said the hub will aim to stimulate local economic growth
by providing support for local entrepreneurs and start-ups to develop and commercialise their ideas.
“It will give start-ups a space for big ideas to be tested and developed and where they can access the
support and networks they need to succeed,” Mr Trinca said.
“Logan has seen an increase in start-up and tech entrepreneurs over the last few years, with
companies like Black Sky Aerospace and GO1 attracting the attention of venture capitalists and major
corporations like Microsoft.
“It’s our hope that the KBF Innovation Hub will foster another generation of entrepreneurs that will
invigorate and broaden the city’s economic landscape.”

Food and Music Festival Keeps On Trucking
24 June 2019
Eats & Beats, the City of Logan’s hugely successful monthly food truck and music festival, will
continue for another year.
Eats & Beats has attracted almost a quarter of a million attendances since it began four years ago.
The free monthly event is designed to activate and promote Logan’s suburbs and has visited 14
different locations.
Greenbank held its first Eats & Beats last month, with an estimated attendance of about 6000.
Council received glowing praise from the community for the neighbourly atmosphere and community-
building efforts.
The Eats & Beats Facebook page has 16,000 followers. Council has committed an additional $50,000
towards delivering the monthly celebration for another year.
Eats & Beats returns to Underwood Park at Priestdale this Friday, June 28, from 5pm.
The beat also goes on for the City of Logan’s established and emerging musical talent with July once
again being declared Logan Live Music Month.
The program includes 88 separate music performances throughout July at Logan venues including
hotels, cafés, micro-breweries, shopping centres and even libraries.
The full gig guide is available at loganlive.com.au
The Global Food Markets, held each Sunday from 6am in Logan Central, are fast gaining a reputation
well beyond the city boundaries.
In February, British TV chef Ainsley Harriott visited the Global Food Markets to film an episode of his
new series.

Green Light for Traffic Improvements
24 June 2019
Motorists in the City of Logan will benefit from improved real-time traffic management solutions and
more timely responses to traffic incidents as part of the 2019/20 Budget.
Logan City Council owns and maintains 124 signalised intersections with this number growing each
year.
There is 2270km of sealed roads in the city, 1246km of shared footpaths and bikeways and 40
bridges as part of Council’s delivery of safe, accessible transit networks across one of the fastest-
growing regions in the country.
Logan City Council Road and Water Infrastructure Acting Director Daryl Reilly, said $1.035 million
would be made available to improve Council’s traffic signal network over the next five years.
“In order to progress Council’s Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) $681,000 has been allocated to
resource a local Traffic Management Centre (TMC) – improving real-time management and response
to incidents on Council roads,” he said.
“Aside from signalised intersections, Council’s growing network includes monitoring of portable speed
advisory signs, vehicle-activated signs, flashing school zone signs and flood warning signs.
“A traffic management centre will better equip Council to manage current and emerging ITS network
requirements.”
Mr Reilly said $354,000 had also been set aside for traffic signal network enhancement – providing
the TMC remote management access for a further 31 signalised intersections.
“Connection of these remaining 31 sites will result in all of Logan’s 124 signalised intersections being
connected to Council’s ITS software which provides for real-time traffic management,” he said.
“It will provide Council with a fully connected smart traffic signal network, allowing greater ability to
monitor and optimise traffic flows across the network.”

New Logan Village Yarrabilba Police Station
15 April 2019
Minister for Police and Minister for Corrective Services, Mark Ryan, and Logan MP Linus Power,
joined Assistant Commissioner Brian Wilkins today at Logan Village Police Beat to officially announce
the establishment of the new Logan Village Yarrabilba Police Station.
The existing Logan Village Beat will be upgraded and refurbished to facilitate the construction of this
new station, which is expected to be complete by July 31 this year.
Due to recent infrastructure development and the subsequent population growth of Logan Village,
Yarrabilba and surrounding areas, this upgrade was deemed necessary to service the needs of these
suburbs and was a government election commitment.
Minister Mark Ryan said the new station is a great development for the future of the area and
represents the expansion of the community in the Logan Village and Yarrabilba suburbs.
“A new station will mean police will have new ways of meeting community needs as this already
established community continues to evolve and grow with the development in the area.”
Logan MP Linus Power said the new police facility was a fitting development for a rapidly growing
community.
“It’s an exciting change and a great opportunity for local police to continue serving the people of their
division, here in Logan,” Mr Power said.
A new policing division will also be established to take over parts of the Crestmead and Jimboomba
divisions to provide more efficient delivery of policing services for the growing community.
In line with the new financial year, the Logan Village Yarrabilba Police Division will be effective as of
July 1, 2019.
Due to the current divisional break up, the Logan Village Beat officers will continue working out of
Jimboomba Police Station while the construction of the new station is underway.
The new station works are set to commence in three weeks and are expected to last for 12-week
period.
Assistant Commissioner Wilkins said this was an exciting announcement for the region, and an
opportunity to demonstrate the local police’s adaptability as they grow to meet community needs.
“The recent development of this area has shown the need for more community support and an
increase in police numbers to mirror the population growth in this expanding community,” Assistant
Commissioner Wilkins said.
“The Logan Village Beat will be upgraded and repurposed for bigger and better things.Supporting Articles
“It’s great to be able to adapt to reflect the changes within the division and this new station will give
the officers the capacity to incorporate more relevant suburbs into their patrols whilst also being more
accessible to the most populated area.”

Council Sets Master Road Plan
13 February 2019
Logan City Council has released a clear plan for the future of roads and infrastructure around Park
Ridge. The program shows the council’s intent for future road upgrades in the area and gives
residents an idea of the impact various roads will have on helping drivers get around the growing
suburb. Numbers shown on top of the roads indicate the ultimate number of lanes that each route will
be upgraded to. As can be seen, Park Ridge Road and School Road will ultimately be a six-lane road.
This will include a 4 lane divided carriageway with two transit lanes for future light rail, buses or other
modes of public transport. This vital connector will go from the Mt Lindesay Highway and cross the
Logan River to connect with Waterford Tamborine Road.
The good news is that some of these projects have already started. The two-lane upgrade of
Chambers Flat Road between Kings Way and Mt Lindesay Highway is well underway, and work
should begin soon.
All of these road upgrades are rolling out with ongoing funding from the Council. Council is currently
investing a record $120M/year on roads and water. This investment is set to increase over coming
years.
