I am a long term local of Logan and in 2020 my family and I have resided in the city for 45 years. I am 100% self funded with no donation from any source and that includes family. I was elected Mayor in 2000 and re-elected again in 2004. I have the experience needed to lead the city forward with confidence, commitment, connections by being community led.

I believe that my community involvement; tertiary qualifications; and diverse career including a partner in a small business in Logan; an employee in both small and medium size businesses; as well as in Federal, State and Local Government, provides a wealth of experience for me to relate for all voters.

I believe whole heartedly in a positive future for this great city and I have literally ‘put my money where my mouth is’ in the quest for Logan to move forward with integrity and experience.

“I am the type of leader that the people of Logan City are looking for and I’m the leader that Division 2 deserves, a leader that’s got YOUR BACK! NO MATTER WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCE.
Please get in touch, let’s have a chat and move toward a united and better tomorrow.”

I love the vibrancy of our area but believe more can be done to ensure we receive our fair share of funding. Division 2 is the heart of Logan City. We host multiple federal and state departments, our council is located here and we have more community support groups offering assistance to those in need than any other division in Logan City.

Logan City Council has just been through a tough time, we need to rebuild and renew our vision for the future. We need to keep moving forward, renewing the parks and public places, ensuring that we are all safe. By improving cameras, street lighting and creating more neighbourhood facilities this gives residents the security they need knowing they’re not alone.

Tony Hall is your local candidate for Division 6. Living and working in Logan for more then a decade his career with government and his strong understanding of Logan City Council has helped many residents. He is a great choice for a local voice in council.

A community needs support, & by extension dynamic facilities within each locality in order to encourage adults & children to exit their homes & inter-mingle as a community. We need to begin a dialogue about how to better our existing & future facilities/public transport & how to achieve a better sense of community.

Logan needs Councillors with vision to grow jobs, improve infrastructure (bikeways, footpaths, roads, public transport), balance development and environment and take our City into a clean, prosperous future. Kirsty sees the opportunities and has courage and integrity to listen and represent all of us.

My interest in truly representing the people of Division Six ethically and diligently supporting our business, sporting and community organzations. Encouraging economic investment and small business prosperity by implementing practical long term solutions for the Logan community.

Division 6 has lacked representation in council for quite some time now. Through positive community engagement, I will represent the residents in council always putting the community needs first, and pursue the best possible outcomes to make our community the best it can be.

I feel it is helpful to have councillors who know where,what and how things were in the past to be able to assist the new councillors in where things need to go, going forward. As having knowledge is most useful to where the council was and where it needs to be as a collaborative cohesive team for the city.

I have lived in Logan for a many years with my wife and our son. For us, Logan is such a vibrant, diverse and exciting place to live and work. The parks and facilities make for a fantastic lifestyle, but it’s the people and community spirit that sets this area apart from others.
