Cr Paul Jackson

Councillor Paul Jackson was elected to represent Division 5 in 2024.

He has lived in the area since 1975, long before Logan became a shire in 1979 and a city in 1981, attending Park Ridge State School and Loganlea State High School.

The city’s culture, people and history inspire Councillor Jackson, and he loves how the community bands together in both good and bad times.

He says his family, faith and friends drive a passion to make positive changes in the community.

Councillor Jackson has worked in roles including electronics, senior church pastor and news publisher and is an active member of several community groups in the city’s western suburbs, including Park Ridge Baptist Church, Logan Connect, Neighbour In Need and Logan Small Business Conference.

He has a degree in social science and is a qualified electronics technician.

His hope is that residents will feel more connected at a street and neighbourhood level.

He enjoys sports, music and movies.

Councillor Jackson is married and has 5 adult children, and 5 grandchildren – so far!
