Logan City Council is not just busy for Queensland. It is the busiest council in the current DA Leads snapshot across Australia.

As of 7 April 2026, Logan sits on 1,744 DAs. Brisbane is next on 790. Gold Coast has 460. City of Sydney has 320. Camden has 303. Casey has 204. Logan is still well clear of the field.

What Is Driving the Volume

The biggest categories inside Logan are not all the same type of project. The category spread is part of why the council matters.

Category	Logan DAs
Garage / Carport / Shed	453
Renovation / Extension	344
New Dwelling	203
Subdivision	138
Granny Flat / Secondary Dwelling	117
Roofing	90
Deck / Pergola / Patio	90
Swimming Pool / Spa	87

This is not a one-note growth corridor. There is still plenty of greenfield-style activity in the mix, but the council also carries renovation, granny flat, pool and outdoor project volume that creates follow-on work for multiple trades. The subdivision boom data shows Logan's greenfield pipeline in national context.

The Suburbs Carrying the Pipeline

The spread inside Logan is broad. The leading suburbs in the current snapshot are:

Suburb	DAs
Cornubia	139
Greenbank	123
Bahrs Scrub	102
Logan Reserve	98
Yarrabilba	93
Park Ridge	70
Loganholme	62
Shailer Park	60

The spread is useful because it shows the volume is not sitting in one master-planned pocket. Logan Reserve, Bahrs Scrub and Yarrabilba still matter, but Cornubia and Greenbank are also pulling serious weight in the current council-wide pipeline.

What This Means for Builders and Tradies

If you work in Southeast Queensland, Logan is one of the few councils where you can justify a dedicated watchlist. The volume is high enough, and the category spread is broad enough, that a weekly review is not overkill.

Trade focus	Why Logan matters
Renovation and extension	344 current DAs, already a major pipeline by itself
Sheds, garages and outdoor trades	453 shed / garage records plus strong deck and pool follow-on work
Granny flat builders	117 current secondary dwelling records, one of the strongest local counts in the dataset (see QLD granny flat rules)

Key takeaway: Logan is not a one-note growth corridor. Beyond 203 new dwelling DAs, the council carries 344 renovation, 117 granny flat, 87 pool and 453 shed/garage records, creating follow-on work across multiple trades.

If you want the suburb-level angle, start with Bahrs Scrub, Logan Reserve, and Yarrabilba. If you want the broader council picture, use the Logan council page.
