Council invites you to have your say on the Logan City Draft Planning Scheme.

The three current planning schemes for pre-amalgamated Logan, Beaudesert and Gold Cost are being integrated into one for all of Logan City, resulting in one new consistent Planning Scheme to help manage business, environment and residential growth throughout all of Logan City.

Have your say by completing an online feedback form and become a part of Logan's future.

Step back in time and celebrate Logan's rich heritage with the Mayes in May festival. This free event is held at Logan's historic Mayes Cottage on Sunday 17 May and makes for a great family fun day out.

From 10 am to 2 pm you can see pig racing, cuddle a baby animal, ride a pony, view vintage cars, enjoy country music and dancing, sheep shearing demonstrations, face painting, a jumping castle for the kids and a free sausage sizzle.

A friendly message from the Logan City Mayor Pam Parker

It is that time of the year again where Logan City comes alive in a celebration of colour, culture and community fun.

Mayfest, to run for the entire month of May, is the city's premier festival of events and this year promises to be just as spectacular as previous years.

Throughout May there will be a range of activities including free concerts, family fun days, art workshops and yoga sessions. And to help all residents take part in the festivities, Council is staging events at all points of the city.

Highlights of Mayfest include Mayes in May on 17 May and the acclaimed Jazz & Shiraz on 29 May held at Mayes Cottage.

I encourage you all to get out and sample the fun of Mayfest and delight in what we have on offer in this great city of ours.

Pam Parker
Your Mayor of Logan City
