Logan Reserve

Logan Reserve lies within the top 10% of areas nationally in terms of population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of short and medium-term trends

As of February 2026, the estimated population of Logan Reserve is around 13,734. This reflects a significant increase from the 2021 Census figure of 7,016 people, indicating a growth of 6,718 individuals (95.8%). The latest resident population estimate by AreaSearch, following examination of ABS ERP data released in June 2024 and validation of new addresses since the Census date, stands at 12,203. This level of population results in a density ratio of approximately 933 persons per square kilometer, comparable to averages seen across other locations assessed by AreaSearch. Logan Reserve's growth rate exceeds both national (9.9%) and state averages, positioning it as a notable growth leader in the region. Interstate migration was the primary driver for this population increase, contributing around 86% of overall gains during recent periods.

However, natural growth and overseas migration also played positive roles. AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data or years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections released in 2023 and based on 2021 data are used. However, these state projections lack age category splits; thus, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings aligned with ABS Greater Capital Region projections for each age cohort. Looking ahead, Logan Reserve is projected to experience exceptional population growth, placing it among the top 10 percent of statistical areas analyzed by AreaSearch. By 2041, the suburb's population is expected to increase by 14,473 persons, reflecting an overall rise of 88.4% over the 17-year period, according to aggregated SA2-level projections.

The level of residential development activity in Logan Reserve was found to be higher than 90% of real estate markets across the country

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers indicates Logan Reserve averaged approximately 601 new dwelling approvals annually over the past five financial years, totalling an estimated 3,006 homes. As of FY26399 approvals have been recorded. Between FY21 and FY25, on average, 1.9 new residents were associated with each dwelling constructed. This suggests a balanced supply and demand scenario, maintaining stable market conditions.

The average construction cost value for new dwellings in the area is $354,000. In FY26, commercial approvals reached $19.3 million, indicating balanced commercial development activity.

Detached dwellings comprise 81.0% of new building activity, with attached dwellings making up 19.0%, preserving Logan Reserve's traditional low-density character. With around 26 people per dwelling approval, the area exhibits growth characteristics. According to AreaSearch's latest quarterly estimate, Logan Reserve is projected to grow by 12,142 residents by 2041. Given current development patterns, new housing supply should meet demand, providing favourable conditions for buyers and potentially facilitating population growth beyond current projections.

The predominantly residential area appears to offer limited local employment opportunities, indicated by the count of Census working population versus resident population. Over a 12-month period ending in September 2025, employment increased by 5.9% and labour force increased by 4.6%, causing the unemployment rate to fall by 1.1 percentage points. In comparison, Greater Brisbane saw employment grow by 3.8%, labour force expand by 3.3%, and unemployment fall by 0.5 percentage points during this period. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 offer further insight into potential future demand within Logan Reserve. These projections suggest that national employment should increase by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. However, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Logan Reserve's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.1% over five years and 13.0% over ten years, although this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population projections.
