Overseas migration contributed approximately 60.6% of overall population gains in recent periods, with all drivers including natural growth and interstate migration being positive factors.

AreaSearch uses ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data and years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections released in 2023 based on 2021 data are adopted, applying proportional growth weightings from ABS Greater Capital Region projections for each age cohort where state projections do not provide age category splits. Future population dynamics project an above median growth for the area, with an expected increase of 3,187 persons to 2041 based on latest annual ERP population numbers, reflecting a total increase of 23.6% over the 17 years.

AreaSearch assessment of residential development activity positions Loganlea among the top 25% of areas assessed nationwide

Loganlea has averaged approximately 63 new dwelling approvals per year. Over the past five financial years, from FY21 to FY25, a total of 316 homes were approved, with an additional 50 approved so far in FY26. Each year, on average, about 3.9 people have moved to the area for each dwelling built during these five financial years.

This significant gap between supply and demand has led to increased buyer competition and pricing pressures, as new properties are constructed at an average expected cost of $149,000, which is below regional levels, offering more affordable housing options. In FY26 alone, commercial approvals valued at $129.1 million have been registered, indicating strong local business investment in the area. Compared to Greater Brisbane, Loganlea has seen slightly higher development activity, with 26.0% more dwellings approved per person over the past five years.

This has maintained good buyer choice while supporting existing property values, although development activity has shown some moderation recently. Recent construction trends show that 63.0% of new dwellings are detached houses, while 37.0% are townhouses or apartments. This mix offers a range of housing options across different price points, from spacious family homes to more compact and affordable choices. Loganlea currently has approximately 404 people per dwelling approval, reflecting its established status as a residential area. According to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate, Loganlea's population is projected to grow by 3,053 residents by 2041. Building activity is keeping pace with these growth projections, but as the population increases, buyers may face heightened competition for available housing options.
