Sales Detail
Logan Village has an estimated 6,654 residents, up from 5,316 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,338 people, or 25.2%. Growth has averaged 4.6% a year over five years, faster than 94% of areas nationally. 526 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 71.0% of that increase. That puts 169 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
Logan Village has an estimated population of approximately 6,654 in May 2026, calculated through AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS population updates and post-Census validated addresses. Compared to the 2021 Census, which recorded 5,316 residents, this represents a population expansion of 1,338 individuals, or 25.2%. This demographic shift is derived from a resident count of 6,568 estimated by AreaSearch using the June 2025 ABS ERP data release, combined with 526 newly validated addresses since the Census. Such population levels yield a density of 168 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density and capacity for future housing expansion.
The 25.2% growth rate in Logan Village since the 2021 census outpaced the national rate of 9.3% as well as the state average, positioning it as a leading growth area. This rise was predominantly fueled by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 71.0% of the population growth, though natural increase and overseas migration also made positive contributions. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are utilized for SA2 regions. For locations lacking this coverage, or for years beyond 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 based on 2021 figures are substituted. Because the Queensland state projections omit detailed age groups, AreaSearch distributes growth across age brackets using weights from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections, which use 2022 baseline data. Future trends point to an expansion rate exceeding the national median, with the local population projected to grow by 948 individuals by 2041 under aggregated SA2 projections, representing a 12.9% total increase over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
465 new dwellings have been approved in Logan Village over the past five years, an average of 93 a year. That places the area in the 94th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 14 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 97 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 94% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 87, broadly in line with that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Analysis of statistical area building approvals by AreaSearch indicates that Logan Village averages approximately 93 new residential approvals annually, totaling 465 approvals over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, and an additional 80 during FY-26. The area added an average of 2.8 new residents for every finished home over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, pointing to healthy demand that supports local property values. The average construction value for these new residences is $292,000. In addition, commercial building approvals have reached $13.4 million during the current financial year, pointing to steady business development.
Logan Village registers approximately three-quarters the volume of new housing approvals per capita compared to Greater Brisbane, yet ranks in the 92nd percentile of all statistical areas across the country. This strong national position demonstrates high developer interest. Detached houses make up 94.0% of these new approvals, while medium and high-density formats represent 6.0%, reinforcing a low-density suburban landscape oriented toward families desiring larger properties. The ratio of about 67 people per approval highlights the emerging character of Logan Village. Demographic forecasts indicate that Logan Village will add 862 residents by 2041, measured from the most recent quarterly estimates by AreaSearch. Current construction trends suggest that supply will easily align with this demand, maintaining favorable conditions for buyers and potentially supporting growth beyond these forecasts.

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.
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.
Yarrabilba Central
Yarrabilba Central is the planned mixed-use town centre for the Yarrabilba Priority Development Area. The precinct will include a sub-regional shopping centre, retail, commercial offices, civic and community facilities, entertainment and higher-density residential development. During 2026, bulk earthworks and supporting road infrastructure continued while subdivision approvals progressed. Stage 1 development applications are being prepared with Economic Development Queensland as the project moves toward initial construction.
Yarrabilba Priority Development Area
Yarrabilba is a 2,222 hectare Priority Development Area and one of South East Queensland's largest masterplanned communities. Stockland continues to deliver staged residential, retail, employment and community infrastructure. Current projects include the Dixon Circuit retail precinct, MountView mixed-use apartments, Park Lane terraces, MIBA South industrial estate, future Town Centre earthworks, the Jimbillunga Drive and Wentland Avenue extension, and the Waterford-Tamborine Road intersection upgrade. The community is planned to deliver around 20,000 dwellings for approximately 50,000 residents.
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 Health City
Yarrabilba Health City is a purpose-built specialist medical precinct on Adler Circuit in Yarrabilba, established in May 2023 to bring cardiology, oncology, radiology, dental and allied health services to the fast-growing Logan community. The multi-tenant facility houses providers including Radiant Radiology, Yarrabilba Cardiology and Specialist Centre, and FB Dental, reducing the need for residents to travel to Brisbane or the Gold Coast for specialist care.
Yarrabilba Dollarbird Drive Intersection
Signalised intersection on Waterford-Tamborine Road at Dollarbird Drive to provide a second access point to the Stockland Yarrabilba community. The $20 million project is jointly funded ($10m Queensland Government Residential Activation Fund, $10m Stockland) and is expected to unlock 4,900 new homes within the Yarrabilba Priority Development Area. The intersection links into the new Jimbillunga Drive corridor, a separate $30 million Stockland-funded project delivered by Golding Contractors along a 2.5 kilometre stretch including the Wentland Avenue extension.Works began in late 2025 and are progressing, with completion targeted for mid-2027.
The Buzz at Yarrabilba
The Buzz at Yarrabilba is a $7.4 million multi-purpose community hub providing training, education, and social spaces. The facility includes meeting rooms, youth spaces, and vocational training services managed by YMCA Queensland.
3,485 residents of Logan Village are employed, from a labour force of 3,618. Unemployment sits at 3.7%, with participation at 65.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% 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 5,095, about 77% 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
Logan Village features a balanced workforce representing both white-collar and blue-collar occupations, with a notable concentration in building and construction. The unemployment rate is low at 3.7%, based on aggregated statistical data compiled by AreaSearch. In March 2026, the employed resident population stood at 3,485, with the jobless rate tracking 0.7% below the Greater Brisbane average of 4.3%. However, the labor force participation rate is lower than the metro benchmark, sitting at 65.4% compared to 70.4% in Greater Brisbane. Census data indicates that 14.5% of the local workforce operated from home, though this figure was likely influenced by public health restrictions.
The major employment industries for local residents are construction, health care & social assistance, and manufacturing. Construction is particularly prominent, employing residents at 2.2 times the average rate seen across the wider region. Conversely, professional & technical services are underrepresented, accounting for 4.7% of local workers compared to 8.9% in Greater Brisbane. A comparison of the Census working population against the resident workforce suggests that this predominantly residential suburb offers limited local employment options. Based on AreaSearch processing of SALM and ABS statistics for the broader region, the 12 months leading up to March 2026 saw the labor force shrink by 0.8% and total employment fall by 1.7%, driving the unemployment rate up by 0.9 percentage points. Over the same period in Greater Brisbane, employment rose by 3.2%, the labor force grew by 3.4%, and unemployment ticked up by 0.1 percentage points. National forecasts published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer perspective on future labor requirements in Logan Village. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. While total national employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary by industry. Weighting these projections to the local employment mix suggests Logan Village's workforce demand could rise by 6.2% over five years and 12.8% over ten years, though this simple extrapolation does not incorporate local population forecasts.

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 — 526 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,316 at the 2021 Census → 6,654 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.
