Logan Metro Football Club has a permanent home again after Logan City Council opened a $4.7 million clubhouse at Compton Park in Woodridge — more than two years after fire destroyed the original facility.
The blaze, which gutted the former clubhouse in January 2024, left the club without a base for two full seasons. Members trained and competed while operating from a demountable building.
Club president Samuel Escobar said the opening marked a significant turning point.
“It has been two years since the fire and two full seasons without facilities,” Mr Escobar said.
“Despite operating out of a demountable building since then, participation at the club has grown. Now, with proper facilities, we’re expecting more growth heading into next season.”
Construction began in August 2025 and was completed in May 2026. The new facility includes a clubroom, kitchen, canteen, office, referee room, first aid room, public amenities, changerooms and a storage shed.
The Queensland Government contributed $4.3 million to the project. Logan City Council provided the remaining $400,000.
Minister for Local Government Ann Leahy said the facility represented more than a building replacement.
“This new clubhouse is about more than bricks and mortar — it’s about restoring a place to call home for Logan Metro Football Club,” Minister Leahy said.
“The Crisafulli Government is proud to back local councils like Logan, working in partnership to deliver the facilities people need to stay active, connected and strong.”
Logan City mayor Jon Raven said the club played an important role in Woodridge.
“Logan Metro Football Club is a big part of the Woodridge community, and this new clubhouse gives them a great new place to call home,” Mayor Raven said.
“Projects like this make sure the people who live in our fast-growing city have the facilities they need to stay active and connected.”
Council provided temporary facilities after the 2024 fire to ensure the club could continue training and competitions while long-term funding was secured.
Compton Park is located in Woodridge, one of Logan’s most populous suburbs. Logan Metro Football Club fields junior and senior teams across multiple competitions.
