Factories, freight depots and jobs need room to grow — and Logan could be sitting on a major opportunity as the greater Brisbane region faces a looming industrial land shortage, the Property Council says.
The Industrial Land Supply and Vacancy Outlook 2026 report has identified 206ha of vacant industrial development land across Logan, potentially opening the door to new investment as the wider region faces a squeeze on space.
The Property Council is calling for a $500 million industrial infrastructure fund and a coordinated state strategy to unlock more employment land.
Property Council Queensland executive director Jess Caire said Logan was well placed to accommodate future growth, but infrastructure investment was essential.
“Logan remains one of the region’s key industrial centres, with around 206ha of industrial development land currently available to support future investment and employment growth,” Ms Caire said.
“Logan is well placed to support the logistics, manufacturing and construction businesses that support south-east Queensland’s growing population.”
“It is not as simple as identifying more land. We need to unlock fit-for-purpose industrial land in the right locations, supported by roads, water and other enabling infrastructure,” she said.
“As demand for industrial land continues to grow, it’s important that infrastructure and planning keep pace to ensure Logan remains an attractive destination for businesses, jobs and investment.”
The Industrial Land Supply and Vacancy Outlook 2026 also identified another 9.8ha of existing Logan industrial sites earmarked for possible redevelopment.
Across Greater Brisbane, the report identified 1081ha of vacant development land, equivalent to approximately 5.28 years of supply at recent rates of use.
The report also estimated 96.87% of surveyed industrial outdoor storage land was already in use.
“Queensland’s industrial precincts are doing the heavy lifting for a growing economy. Supporting freight, logistics, construction and the delivery of major infrastructure, many of these strategically located sites are now approaching full occupation, leaving limited room for future growth,” Ms Caire said.
Average sale prices for industrial development sites smaller than 5ha rose about 44% across the surveyed market over the year to June 2026.
Ms Caire said industrial rents had increased by 50% per cent since 2019, adding pressure to business costs.
“If we don’t maintain a pipeline of well-located job-creating employment land, we risk pushing up costs for businesses, making it harder for new investment and jobs to flow into south-east Queensland,” she said.
