PART 3: DISASTER RISK ASSESSMENT
Essential Infrastructure
Electricity Network
Communication
Bulk power is sourced from the Queensland electricity grid operated by Powerlink which is fed from their Belmont and Mudgeeraba Bulk Supply Substations through the city to Energex’s Bulk Supply Substations at Beenleigh, Loganlea and Jimboomba. Electrical power is supplied to Logan through distribution substations at Bethania, Beenleigh North and Logan Village via a series of powerlines, electrical poles and underground as required.
nbn, Telstra, Optus, Vodafone and other private network providers maintain telecommunication networks within the city. This includes Public Switched Telephone Network, broadband (including NBN) and mobile services. In addition, there are local, commercial and national radio stations and free-to-air television services. Emergency services and Council, together with a number of private sector enterprises, maintain mobile radio communications (UHF and VHF) coverage throughout the city. Medical and Health Facilities The City is serviced by Logan Hospital at Meadowbrook and serviced by a number of private medical, dental, chiropractic, pharmacy and physiotherapy services. Natural Gas Supply Yarrabilba is currently being reticulated for natural gas supply, and the reticulation of Greater Flagstone in underway. The LCC area is also traversed by the Gold Coast Gas Pipeline. APA Group owns and operates each of the natural gas assets mentioned above.
Waste Water Network The majority of the residential areas of the City are serviced by the reticulated sewerage network with the remainder relying on on-site sewerage facilities including septic tanks and household sewage treatment plants located at Beenleigh, Flagstone, Jimboomba and Loganholme. Wastewater control and treatment centres are located throughout the city. Five major sewerage pump stations at Alfred Street, Browns Plains, Chambers Flat and Spanns Road have standby generators and two mobile generators are also available to be used at other medium-sized pump stations. A mobile diesel sewerage pump is available for emergency pump breakdowns or power failures at each sewerage pump station.
