Logan is booming! Officially Queensland's fastest-growing city with a 4.1% jump in population,
it offers opportunities and challenges. While growth brings investment and jobs, it strains roads, public transport, and schools. Experts
say Logan's "heavy lifting" with developments like Flagstone fuels regional growth but comes at a cost – loss of green space and pressure on infrastructure. The city's unemployment rate is at its lowest ever, but many residents likely commute for work. The future calls for
