Freeway links Brisbane to Springwood, then the Gold Coast.

The planned South-East Freeway encouraged the Albert Shire area to grow.

The freeway would provide easy access between Brisbane and Springwood and eventually to the Gold Coast.

Initial plans forecast the freeway to Springwood to be finished by 1970. However, it was not completed until 1985.

The new residents in the Albert Shire felt isolated from their local government and lobbied for better local representation.

On 1 January 1981, Logan was declared a city. Our administration building in Wembley Road was opened in February 1981. Extensions to the building were completed in 1984 and 1993.

It has thriving light industrial precincts at Marsden, Crestmead, Slacks Creek and Loganholme, which are continuing to expand to meet the demand of quality, responsible industry.

Logan is home to more than 300,000 people from more than 185 different cultures. We celebrate our diversity and the rich and varied lifestyle it offers. Logan is also a very young city with around 50 per cent of residents aged 30 or younger. This adds energy and enthusiasm to our community and gives us a real vibrancy. No wonder we have become known as one of the most diverse cities in Australia.
