PART 4: PREVENTION
Land-Use Planning Managing land use is a key strategy to reducing disaster risks within Logan City. Through land-use planning, the potential for displacement, damage and disruption to communities can be reduced.

Through land-use planning, the potential for displacement, damage and disruption to communities can be reduced.
It sets out Council’s intention for the future development in the Planning Scheme area of Logan City over the next 20 years and includes plans, reference for land use management, codes for development and requirements pertaining to the assessment of proposed developments. The Planning Scheme seeks to advance state and regional strategies, including state planning policies and the regional plan, through more detailed local responses, taking into account the local context.
