A local wellness program has helped re-connect a City of Logan resident with one of her passions. Woodhill local Carol Rudd took up Tai chi in 2020 through Logan City Council’s Active & Healthy Program after having a break from the martial art for several years because of an injury. “I stopped then went back to it,” Mrs Rudd said after finding the program booklet for the free and low-cos
A dream came true today for an 11-year-old Logan boy obsessed with garbage trucks. Ethan Nilsen, of Daisy Hill, has been fascinated with his local waste and recycling collectors since he was a small boy.

Super Bowl-sized enthusiasm touched down in Logan today with the launch of a kid-friendly, non-contact version of American football.

New studies have increased local understanding of potential flood risk in three significant creek catchments across the City of Logan.

The results helped Logan City Council develop new flood-risk mapping for these areas

Major upgrade works on Chambers Flat Rd reached another major milestone last week as the new Norris Creek Bridge took shape. A 500-tonne, all-terrain crane – with a reach of more than 60m – was used over three days to lift 90 bridge girders into place. The creek crossing has been raised by 8m to allow for improved access in an area that experiences regular flooding during severe wet weather. T
A roadmap to recovery is being fine-tuned as Logan City Council continues to support thousands of residents battered by the elements over the holiday season. The recovery is expected to take weeks rather than days. In some of the worst-impacted areas of the city’s southwest, it could take months. Council’s Local Recovery Group (LRG) has been meeting to finalise the phased recovery plan as it p
