Land-Use Planning

PART 4: PREVENTION

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. Council in accordance with the Planning Act 2016 has prepared and maintains the Logan Planning Scheme as a framework for managing population growth, planning for a sustainable future for Logan and guiding the way land is used and developed across the city. 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.

Through land-use planning, the potential for displacement, damage and disruption to communities can be reduced.
