City Pulse

Welcome to Logan City Council’s first release of City Pulse.

Logan City Council understands the importance of accurate and up to date land use, development, and building activity data. Council has therefore invested in a dedicated Research and Monitoring Unit being established in the Economic Development and Strategy Branch, with a core function of monitoring growth and key indicators of growth across the City.

Development approvals and building activity data will be updated quarterly, whilst updates to land use activity for the entire city will be updated annually. Future updates will also provide the user with interactive mapping and analytical query tools.

City Pulse contains the following information:

City Snapshot

City snapshot provides a census of the Land use / activity occurring on every property located within Logan Local Government Area as at June 2019. The snapshot is presented in two broad categories being residential and non-residential. For properties with a residential Land use / activity, the number of dwellings is recorded or the number of bedrooms for specific residential uses such as care facilities. For properties with a non-residential land / use activity the Gross Floor Area (GFA) is recorded. If a property had both a residential and non-residential Land use / activity all of these were recorded.

Note: Land use / activity is based on what is actually occurring on the property as at June 2019. Land use / activity is not Logan Planning Scheme (2015) zoning.
