Logan City is experiencing a population surge, solidifying its position as one of Queensland’s fastest growing regions. As of June 30th, 2023, the estimated resident population reached 377,773, reflecting a healthy jump of 4.05% in just one year. This growth rate outpaces the South East Queensland average of 3.01%, highlighting Logan’s unique appeal.

This isn’t a recent trend. Logan has consistently shown impressive growth. In the 2021/22 financial year, it ranked as the state’s second-fastest growing Local Government Area, boasting a rate of 3.6%. Looking ahead, projections predict Logan’s population to surpass 500,000 by 2036.

Factors fueling this boom are likely multifaceted. The affordability of Logan compared to other parts of South East Queensland is likely a significant draw. Additionally, major developments like Greater Flagstone and Yarrabilba are expected to contribute nearly half of the city’s future growth, providing new housing options and attracting residents.

Logan’s growth presents both opportunities and challenges. The city council is actively involved in planning for this influx, ensuring infrastructure development keeps pace with the rising population. This includes investment in roads, schools, and community facilities.

Logan’s transformation is undeniable. With its booming population, the city is poised for an exciting future. The ability to manage this growth effectively will be crucial in ensuring a high quality of life for its residents.
