Councillor Lisa Bradley gets an early start on National Tree Day on
Sunday which will include a free community planting event in Passerine Park (entry via Dorset Park) at Rochedale South.
Logan City Council will use National Tree Day this weekend to continue to grow the City of Logan’s award-winning green canopy.
Council plants more than 80,000 trees and shrubs annually and will add to that impressive total with two free community planting events to mark National Tree Day on Sunday, August 1.
National Tree Day is Australia’s largest community and nature care event. The theme this year is: “Be part of something big by doing something small”.
Deputy Mayor Jon Raven on Loganlea Road
Meadowbrook residents, traders and users of Loganlea Road will benefit from a change in work schedules on a major health and well-being project.
The Loganlea Road Healthy Street project in Meadowbrook is designed to better connect Logan Hospital to nearby medical and retail precincts.
The project involves significant upgrades to Loganlea Road to improve pedestrian and cyclist access, enhance amenity, and stimulate investment within the centre, encouraging health and wellness.
Work, which began last month, has been conducted nightly from Monday to Saturday.
However, to reduce impact on weekend trade, work will now be carried out from Sunday night to Friday morning.

New blueprint for our growth
A view of Logan Village, where planning has included the redevelopment of the Village Green playground, a recreation trail to nearby Yarrabilba and sealed pathways linking residential areas to the local business and shopping precinct.
Logan City Council today endorsed a five-year, $9 million project to create a new city plan.
The new Planning Scheme will be a blueprint for a sustainable future and will help manage and guide unprecedented growth across the City of Logan.
The project will be based on in-depth research done by Council and will be driven by extensive feedback from the community and other stakeholders.
The data includes fauna injury and road-kill statistics collected by Council since 2011.
Input was also sought from agencies including the RSPCA, the Department of Main Roads and Transport and environmental database, WildNet.
The data was analysed in conjunction with University of Queensland to produce a new city-wide priority species Wildlife Vehicle Collision Hot Spots map, which replaces a less-comprehensive 2018 version.
Environment Chair, Deputy Mayor Jon Raven said the new map would help improve road safety and protect our local wildlife populations.
“We know our community is passionate about protecting our native animals but suddenly finding them on our roads can pose serious risks to road users,” Councillor Raven said.

Logan City Council’s new waste contract starts on Thursday (July 1).
For the majority of residents, nothing changes other than the blue and white trucks of the new contractor Cleanaway.
The general waste and recycle bin collection day will remain the same unless Council has provided residents with a notice of a change.
Environment and Waste Chair, Deputy Mayor Jon Raven, said some bin collection times may change under the new contract.
“We don’t want anyone’s bins to be missed so please make sure your bin is out the night before or before 6am on your usual pickup day,” Cr Raven said.
