Sales Detail
Logan Village has an estimated 10,099 residents, up from 8,608 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,491 people, or 17.3%. Growth has averaged 3.3% a year over five years, faster than 88% of areas nationally. 566 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 74.9% of that increase. That puts 136 residents on each square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
According to the analysis conducted by AreaSearch, Logan Village has a population of approximately 10,099 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 1,491 people (17.3%) compared to the 2021 Census, which counted 8,608 residents. This population shift is calculated utilizing the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 9,963, alongside 566 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The density of the area stands at 135 persons per square kilometer, offering plenty of space per resident and room for future expansion. The 17.3% rate of growth since the 2021 census outpaces the national benchmark of 9.3% as well as state levels, positioning the area as a regional growth leader.
The primary driver of this demographic expansion was interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 74.9% of the population increase, although other factors like overseas migration and natural growth also registered positive gains. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. For locations lacking this coverage, or for periods beyond 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 and based on 2021 figures are substituted. Because these state-level projections lack breakdowns by age bracket, AreaSearch distributes growth using proportional weightings derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (using a 2022 baseline) for individual age cohorts. Future outlooks suggest the area will experience population growth slightly under the national median, with the local population projected to increase by 1,181 individuals by 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP data, which equals a total expansion of 10.3% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
541 new dwellings have been approved in Logan Village over the past five years, an average of 108 a year. That places the area in the 94th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 11 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 92 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 92% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 92, broadly in line with that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Approximately 108 residential approvals have been granted annually in Logan Village, culminating in 541 new residences over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 85 approvals have been logged. The ratio of new arrivals to newly built dwellings stood at 2.8 people per year per home constructed over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), indicating healthy demand that underpins local property values. Newly constructed homes carry an average value of $245,000, which sits below regional averages and offers more affordable entry points for home buyers.
Furthermore, commercial approvals worth $15.5 million have been registered during this financial year, pointing to a moderate pace of commercial construction. Logan Village records roughly half the rate of new dwelling approvals per capita compared to Greater Brisbane, though it ranks in the 90th percentile of all analyzed locations nationwide. This level of activity is much higher than the national baseline, indicating strong developer trust in the district. Standing standalone houses make up 92.0% of the new construction, with apartments or townhouses accounting for the remaining 8.0%, preserving the suburban, low-density profile of the neighborhood which attracts families desiring spacious living. With roughly 81 people for each dwelling approval, Logan Village exhibits typical traits of an expanding growth corridor. Looking forward, the population of Logan Village is projected to rise by 1,045 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. The current rate of home building is expected to supply enough housing to satisfy demand, creating a balanced environment for purchasers and potentially paving the way for growth that exceeds current predictions.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Logan's Run Residential Development
Masterplanned residential community by Lennium Group in the Logan Village growth corridor. The estate is planned to deliver around 450 residential lots with landscaped open space and supporting community infrastructure. Public information indicates the project remains approved, with no clear evidence that full construction has commenced.
Logan Water Major Infrastructure Program
Ongoing Logan Water capital works program delivering new water and wastewater infrastructure, including trunk pipelines, pump station upgrades, water main relocations, network renewals and planning for the future Chambers Flat Wastewater Treatment Plant. The program supports population growth, improved water security and long-term servicing of Logan's southern growth corridor.
Yarrabilba and Greater Flagstone Infrastructure Funding Agreement
A $1.2 billion infrastructure funding agreement between Economic Development Queensland (EDQ), Logan City Council, and nine key developers to deliver trunk roads, water, and sewer infrastructure across the Yarrabilba and Greater Flagstone Priority Development Areas (PDAs) over the next 45 years. Combined, the two PDAs are planned to deliver up to 71,500 dwellings housing approximately 188,000 residents. Within Greater Flagstone, Peet's 1,631-lot residential precinct began construction in August 2025, with first homes anticipated by mid-2026, forming part of Peet's broader 12,000-lot Flagstone City masterplan.An updated Greater Flagstone Development Charges and Offset Plan was published in July 2026, confirming the agreement remains active and current.
Green Road Upgrade
Long-term road widening and improvement project to accommodate expected traffic growth in the area. Part of Logan City Council's Local Government Infrastructure Plan. Preliminary design complete, timeline for construction not yet confirmed.
Chambers Flat Wastewater Treatment Plant
A new wastewater treatment plant being delivered by Logan Water on a 144-hectare Council-owned site at Pleasant View Road, Chambers Flat, to service the fast-growing development corridor extending from Park Ridge through Logan Village to Yarrabilba. The facility is the anchor asset of the Yarrabilba and Park Ridge wastewater servicing scheme and replaces earlier reliance on the constrained Loganholme and Cedar Grove networks. Stage 1 is sized at approximately 40,000 to 60,000 equivalent persons, with the site masterplanned to an ultimate capacity of at least 150,000 EP across three stages.The plant will use membrane bioreactor technology, a biological treatment process with fine filtration, and is designed to treat up to five times average dry weather flow before any screened and de-gritted bypass to the Logan River. Around 90 hectares of the site is set aside for on-site irrigation reuse under the environmental licence issued by the Department of Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation, with drip irrigation to boundary screening vegetation and spray irrigation across central cropping areas. Supporting elements include a reduced-scale solar array occupying roughly three per cent of the site, a native tree buffer and wildlife corridor planting, an upgraded emergency flood access road from McPherson Road, and land set aside for expansion of the Mustangs Football Club fields and car park. In June 2025 the Queensland Government committed $135.98 million from the $2 billion Residential Activation Fund toward the $334.53 million project, with Logan City Council funding the balance including conveyance pipework, pump stations and the Park Ridge to Chambers Flat trunk pipeline. Detailed design is underway, early site works and buffer tree planting commenced in early 2026, and construction is expected to run for approximately three years. The plant will unlock more than 20,000 new dwellings in its first stage from 2028 and support in excess of 60,000 homes at ultimate capacity. Cultural heritage investigations are being carried out on the site in partnership with the Danggan Balun (Five Rivers) People, and a Community Reference Group established by Council continues to guide site masterplanning.
Chambers Flat Wastewater Treatment Plant
Logan Water is planning a new wastewater treatment plant at Chambers Flat to service 60,000 equivalent persons and unlock over 20,000 new homes across Yarrabilba, Park Ridge, and Logan Village. The Queensland Government has committed $135.98 million towards the $334.53 million project. Design is underway, with first effluent flows expected mid to late 2028.
Yarrabilba Central
Yarrabilba Central is the planned mixed-use town centre for the Yarrabilba Priority Development Area.

Stage 1 development applications are being prepared with Economic Development Queensland as the project moves toward initial construction.
Riverleigh
A 7.49 hectare CFMG Residential Communities estate in Logan Reserve, expanded via the Glen Road II raise to a total of 143 house-and-land lots across four stages. The community sits alongside parkland with views to the Logan River, about 30 minutes south of Brisbane CBD. Stage 1 is nearing completion with registration expected in early 2026, while Stage 2 electrical and road signage works are progressing and Stage 3 road crossings, watermain and subbase gravel works are underway as of April 2026.
5,360 residents of Logan Village are employed, from a labour force of 5,522. Unemployment sits at 2.9%, with participation at 66.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 8,437, about 84% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
The local workforce in Logan Village is evenly split between white-collar and blue-collar occupations, with a notably strong representation in the construction sector and a low unemployment rate of 2.9%. In March 2026, there were 5,360 employed residents, with the local unemployment rate sitting 1.4% below the Greater Brisbane figure of 4.3%. The participation rate of 66.4% is slightly below the Greater Brisbane average of 70.4%. According to Census records, a moderate 15.1% of the workforce worked from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related lockdown measures.
The major employment fields for local residents are construction, health care & social assistance, and retail trade. Construction shows a heavy concentration locally, with employment levels reaching 2.1 times the average seen across the wider region. Conversely, health care & social assistance is less prominent, employing 12.0% of the local workforce compared to 16.1% in Greater Brisbane. The comparison of Census working population to resident population suggests that this largely residential enclave offers limited local employment options. An analysis of SALM and ABS data by AreaSearch indicates that over the 12 months ending March 2026, the local labor force contracted by 2.6% while overall employment fell by 3.3%, causing the unemployment rate to climb by 0.7 percentage points. Conversely, Greater Brisbane saw employment grow by 3.2% and its labor force expand by 3.4%, with a minor 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment forecasts published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide context for local employment prospects. These projections for five and ten-year horizons have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual industries will grow at different rates. Applying these sector projections directly to the employment profile of Logan Village yields a projected local employment growth of 6.1% over five years and 12.7% over ten years, representing a basic weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes that does not incorporate local population projections.

How the numbers are built
Population
The Census provides the small-area baseline, aggregated from mesh blocks to this boundary. It is then re-based to the ABS Estimated Resident Population (June 2025 release), and new dwellings built since Census night are counted from address data — 566 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (8,608 at the 2021 Census → 10,099 now). Annual growth rates are compound (CAGR), not simple averages.
Age profile
Cohort shares are not raw Census counts. Every cohort is held as a pair — the Census baseline and a current estimate — and the split is re-based using ERP and state population projections, current to May 2026. Median age is the Census median plus modelled change since. Charts that show both are labelled "2021 Census vs Current Estimate".
Property sales
Sourced from the state valuation authority's sales register — current, not Census, and refreshed weekly. Medians are calculated from settled transactions in the period shown; periods with very low transaction counts are flagged or suppressed, because a handful of sales can move a median substantially.
Rents
Derived from state rental bond lodgement data, by dwelling type and bedroom count. Bonds are lodged at the start of a new tenancy, so this reflects new lettings, not the whole rented stock.
Development & infrastructure
Building approvals come from current ABS releases; development applications are collected from council and state planning portals; the infrastructure pipeline is compiled from Infrastructure Australia and local government sources. Applications are matched to this boundary by address or coordinates, so very recent lodgements may not yet appear.
Employment & income
Industry and occupation structure comes from the Census, but the headline labour-market indicators do not. Unemployment and labour force are derived from ABS Small Area Labour Markets (quarterly). The employment outlook applies Department of Employment forecasts for all 19 industry divisions to this area's own industry mix (the agency is now Jobs and Skills Australia), as does the Internet Vacancy Index used for job demand. Because it is weighted on industry composition alone, that outlook carries no allowance for local population growth — in fast-growing areas the real rise in local jobs will typically be higher. Income combines Census household income with ATO taxable-income statistics for FY 2023, indexed forward using the Wage Price Index.
Education, transport & amenities
School enrolments, ICSEA and performance come from ACARA's current release, not the Census. Public transport stops and service frequency are derived from GTFS timetable feeds published by state transport departments. Services and amenities are proximity and count scores built from provider directories, refreshed on their own cycle. The Census contributes only the travel-to-work and qualification measures.
Rankings and benchmarks. Where we rank this area, the comparison set is every area of the same boundary type — suburbs against suburbs, SA2s against SA2s. Benchmarks compare this area against its greater capital city region and the national figure for the same measure and period.
Limits worth knowing. Small areas carry larger error margins, and the ABS introduces small random adjustments to Census counts to protect confidentiality — so totals may not sum exactly. Estimates re-based from regional data describe the area's expected trajectory, not a direct count of it. Figures are indicative for research and are not financial, planning or valuation advice.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (311041322). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
