A long-planned link between riverside residential areas and Logan Village Green has been opened.
The River Link, as it’s been named, is a $1.2 million concrete pathway, bridge and underpass which allows residents at My Home and River estates to avoid crossing busy Anzac Avenue on their way to Logan Village shops.
Logan City Council tapped into a $2 million fund designed to upgrade Loan Village.
New safety cameras, additional lighting and a viewing platform overlooking the nearby Logan River were paid for by a divisional allocation managed by local councillor Laurie Koranski.
The plan to upgrade Logan Village is set to be finished this year, and has already seen construction of an adventure playground at Logan Village Green and upgrades to drainage and landscaping.
The Logan Village to Yarrabilba Rail Trail is under construction and due to be completed by the end of the year.
Relocation of the skate park is one of the final remaining pieces to the revamp.
Local councillor Laurie Koranski said the Logan Village River Link helped showcase the natural beauty and rich history of the area.
“Residents and visitors can now stroll along the pathway as they take in wonderful views of the river, explore our historic buildings, enjoy the family playground on the Green and then shop and dine in the Logan Village retail precinct,” she said.
“This is another important step towards our vision to develop Logan Village into a must-see riverside destination for artisan experiences and extraordinary lifestyle.”
