Yet it still also has a place for both relaxation and excitement, filled equally with adventure and beauty.

New developments are common in Logan including the Logan Enhancement Project which is upgrading the Logan and Gateway Extension Motorways, the Logan Reserve General Planning Layout and even a recent branch of Griffith University focusing on health, research and education.

It’s not ‘all work and no play’ in Logan though. The Logan Entertainment Centre offers a great line up of live performances all year round. There’s plenty of shopping opportunities, local breweries and even Buddhist retreats that all call Logan home.
