Grassroots views to build a better future

Division 1 residents are doing their part to help shape the city for the next 50 years through Council’s exciting new initiative, Transform Logan.

A Community Reference Panel has been formed with members independently recruited to represent the City of Logan community in age, gender, ability, culture, and ethnicity.

Participants were also selected to ensure the panel reflected a range of education levels, employment choices, household incomes and home ownership (owners and renters).

Members include residents from both the city’s urban and rural areas.

The 50-strong panel meets regularly to provide insights and feedback to Council on strategic topics that may impact the long-term direction of the city.

Topics of discussion for the panel include economic transformation, waste, water, energy and the city’s natural areas and environment.

Later this year, the panel will help create a new draft City Vision for Logan’s future.

Long-time Rochedale South resident and father of 2, Vishal Jaitley, was invited to become a member on the panel after he participated in the Council’s 10-year Community Vision initiative in 2021.

‘It is great to be part of a group that will provide recommendations to those who will shape our growing city for years to come,’ Vishal says.
Councillor Lisa Bradley says Vishal, and other Division 1 residents on the panel, are delivering an invaluable service to the entire City of Logan community.

‘Their input and advice will help shape and improve the quality of life for current and future generations who call our city home,’ Cr Bradley says.
