City Pulse

Welcome to Logan City Council’s Economic Development 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.

This is the second edition of City Pulse, which has been reviewed and updated as at 31 December 2021. This information includes available development activity data from 2010/11 through to 2021/22 (part-year July-December 2021).

City Pulse contains the following information:
