Building approvals, live development applications and major projects across the Jimboomba statistical area — covering Logan.
These four figures are deliberately not added together. An application, an approval and a project under construction are often the same building at three points in its life, measured by three different bodies with three different lags. Read them as a sequence, not a total.
What councils and certifiers have formally permitted — the ABS series, published about four months in arrears.
Dwelling approvals a year per 100 existing homes, with Queensland and Australia for comparison. This is the same activity as the totals view, divided by the size of the area — which is the only fair way to compare a large SA3 with a small one.
Dwelling approvals a year per 1,000 residents, each year divided by that year’s estimated resident population (ABS ERP at 30 June), not by today’s — which matters most in fast-growing areas, where a fixed denominator can understate the early years by half. The most recent periods use the latest published ERP, as the population series runs a year behind approvals. Read it alongside the per-100-homes view: the two differ wherever household size does.
Dwelling units approved each financial year. The dashed line is the five-year average of 1,701.
Dwelling approvals a year per 100 existing dwellings.
Detached houses as a share of existing homes, against the share of recent approvals.
Share of each year’s approvals.
The same approvals, measured against the population they have to house.
People added for every new address verified, against the size of an average local household.
A bar longer than the household average means the area gained more residents than its new housing could hold, and the extra had to be absorbed by existing homes.
Dwellings a year: what is currently being approved, against what the 2041 population projection implies.
Implied need assumes the average household stays at today’s 3.4 people. Approvals are not completions, and not every approval is built.
What is being asked for right now — applications collected from council planning portals, before any of it reaches the ABS series above. AreaSearch tracks applications of material scale; routine minor works such as signage and fencing changes are not carried, so these are not counts of every application lodged. 15 of them carry an AreaSearch analyst assessment — look for the Analysed marker in the search below.
Number of applications by development type. This is the clearest single picture of what kind of place Jimboomba is being asked to become. Councils in Queensland do not publish an estimated cost of works in their planning feeds, so applications here are counted rather than valued. A further 1 application sit across 1 smaller category, too few to plot.
As reported by the council. Highlighted rows are applications still in assessment.
4 applications are still marked under assessment but were lodged more than 18 months ago. Councils often leave determined or abandoned applications open in their feeds, so they are counted here but excluded from the live queue above.
Applications on record within each council area that overlaps Jimboomba. This counts applications inside this statistical area only — it is not a total for the council.
By the number of dwellings proposed, as lodged. Figures are the applicant’s own and are not verified by AreaSearch.
What is funded and moving — the projects large enough to change how Jimboomba works, ranked by committed value and how close they are to delivery.

Combined values on this page exclude 5 records that appear to be separate stages of a project already counted. Both are still listed above with their own values.

Beyond 2030: a further $20.4bn across 13 projects with completion dates further out — mostly precinct-scale programs whose dates are indicative. Kept out of the chart so the years you can act on stay readable.
Estimated value of tracked projects by the year they are due to complete, stacked by how certain they are. The dark band is money already being spent; the pale band is still an intention. Estimates are indicative and mix infrastructure cost with whole-of-precinct development value, so read the shape rather than the totals.

Applications and major projects plotted where they are actually proposed, with the 74 projects AreaSearch tracks here on their own tab — filterable by type, delivery stage, area and committed value. To search every application on record rather than this sample, use the section above.
Approvals per 100 existing homes in 2025-26, by statistical area, with the Jimboomba figure marked. Ranked rather than stacked: rates cannot be added together.
Approvals per 1,000 residents in 2025-26, by statistical area, against each area’s own estimated resident population, with the Jimboomba figure marked. A small area building hard is invisible in the totals view and obvious here.
Dwelling approvals each financial year, split by the statistical area they fell in. Each column totals the whole Jimboomba figure from the approvals chart above — SA2s nest exactly inside an SA3, so the two always reconcile. Tap or click an area in the legend to hide it and compare the rest. The smallest 1 areas are grouped as one band.
Each area below opens a map builder on its own page — a tool for putting a map and a table into a report. Pick the place types you want plotted (schools, supermarkets, medical, child care, transport and the rest of what AreaSearch holds), add development applications as their own layer, drop your own points, then recolour, renumber and export the result as a table or CSV. A this area only toggle clips everything to the boundary you are looking at. Searches are charged against your credit balance — 1 credit per 40 results from AreaSearch data — and setting filters costs nothing until you search. The builder works on one suburb-sized area at a time, which is why it opens per area rather than across the whole of Jimboomba.

Applications are assessed within the Logan local government area. The most recent application in our data was lodged in August 2026.

Jimboomba is an ABS Statistical Area Level 3. It is covered by the Logan local government area. AreaSearch publishes development figures at ABS statistical boundaries rather than council boundaries, so they reconcile with the official ABS series.
On development approvals, Jimboomba is adding new dwellings faster than Queensland as a whole — 2.55 approvals per 100 existing dwellings a year against the state figure of 0.77.
ABS building approvals are published with a lag of roughly four months; this page carries the series to August 2026. Development applications are collected from council planning portals and refresh continuously, with the most recent application here lodged in August 2026. Major project records are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Each section carries its own currency label so the four are never confused.
Development data is provided for general information. Estimated values, dwelling counts and delivery dates come from the lodging or delivering party and are not independently verified by AreaSearch. Confirm anything material with the relevant council or agency before relying on it.
