Community Facilities Inventory i 1 Introduction
This document provides an inventory of existing community facilities within Logan City
Council as of December 2010. It has been developed as part of the Community Facilities
Strategy and provides background and supportive information to that document. Only
Council owned facilities are included in this document.
1.1
Scope
The range of community facilities covered by this document and the Community Facilities
Strategy have been categorised for easy reference. These categories are:
1. Community Facilities
a. Community Centres
b. Community Spaces
c. Youth Centres
2. Arts and Cultural Facilities
a. Art Galleries
b. Libraries
c. Museums
d. Performing Arts Spaces
3. Sporting Centres
a. Indoor Sports Centres
b. Aquatic Centres
c. Sporting Facilities by Sector
1.2
Level of Service
Although the physical number of facilities has been documented in the Community Facilities
Strategy, further analysis has been undertaken to determine the level of service each facility
actually provides to the community. This analysis has been based on how each facility meets
four different criteria, which include:
 Location/access;
 Site area;
 Building area; and
 Design.
This assessment results in each facility being rated between 0.0 and 1.0, with 1.0 indicating
that the facility adequately meets the needs of the community. For example, if a community
centre suffered from a poor location, size and design, it may be assessed as rating 0.5 and is
therefore only acting as half a community centre.

Meakin Park
General
Description:
Meakin Park is host to a wide variety of sports
and consists of several sporting grounds. The
Meakin Park Junior Sporting Association
oversees the club house facility on the western
side of Meakin Road) that is shared by such
groups as Logan City Softball, Logan City
Hockey and Logan City Darts.
The fields have 8 soft ball diamonds in very
good condition as well as fencing around the 2
skinned diamonds. There is field lighting
consisting of 11 lighting towers with various
numbers of lights on each. There are 2 dug
outs each on five of the fields. There were no
markings or goal posts on the fields signifying
the use by Logan City Hockey Club.
Their club house has a very large function
room with kitchen/canteen facilities, a small
gaming area and a large undercover veranda
overlooking the fields. This veranda would be
the only shade provided to spectators and
players. Toilet facilities include male and
female toilets as well as a disabled access
unisex toilet. The fields and clubhouse are in
use 7 days per week 12 months per year. Even
though it was in very good condition and
seemed roomy, the club has outgrown this
with over 900 players registered.
Designated car parking is inadequate
especially for the manoeuvring of buses who
often relay players to the fields. Cars often
have to park on the very busy road which is a
concern to the club as drivers often speed
down this road. It has resulted in at least one
accident recently. The club would like to
convert one of their grassed areas into a
parking area.
The Logan City Kings utilise the soccer
grounds across the road from Meakin Park
Junior Sports Association, behind the Strikers
Community Facilities Inventory Page 116 Club House.
There is one main field and 3 mini fields
available here, all in good condition. All have
goal posts and there are 2 dug outs on the
main field with a sin bin as well as 2 dug outs
on the secondary field.
A small 2 storey club house used for
administration, provides two change rooms
(both have 1 toilet and 2 showers), toilet
facilities downstairs (1 male plus urinal, 2
female plus 1 unisex disabled) plus 1 male and
1 female toilet upstairs as well as a kitchenette
and a canteen. There is a small undercover
area at the front of this providing some shade.
Storage facilities are at the rear of the building.
The club also uses the fields on the other side
of the creek (still Meakin Park). Ideally, they
would like to build some sort of access
through the bushland to enable them to access
both sites. Originally this site on Soccer Drive
was the clubs main grounds. It was shared
with Logan Sharks Baseball team until the
Sharks disbanded. The grounds are well
maintained but may be under utilised.
Designated parking is available at both sites as
well as in the grounds of the Strikers Club.


Lighting is not adequate for the club to

upgrading to enable them to use both
diamonds.

A constant issue for the club is
vandalism. The club has bushland
surrounding three sides of it with
walking trails and within access of the
local high school. This encourages the
local youth to regularly deface the mural
at the end of the building with
obscenities and also maliciously damage
the area. Ideally the club would like to
remove some of the vegetation to enable
spectators to watch the sport on the

Issues faced by

Motorbikes present an issue as they race

ups to deter motor bike riders.
The club would ideally like a fence to be put
around the perimeter of the park. However,
this would spoil the park like appearance of
this facility.
An ongoing challenge is the lack of car park
space. There are designated car parks at the
front of the club house, but due to the
number of participants and spectators, they
are quickly filled. Some people do park over
at nearby Hyde Park, but if there are soccer

Logan Village
1 arena, 4 lighting towers, 2 porta loos (club
hires these), 1 shipping container used for
storage, 1 ex Prison hut, public toilets at
entrance, several holding pens
Limitations:
No club house available for Riding Club
Inadequate toilet facilities
Poor lighting
club:

Toilet facilities at RSL are often locked
when Riding Club hold functions.

The arena they are currently using is
large and in good condition but ideally,
the club would like to divide this up into
smaller arenas. They have approached
Council regarding this as there are
currently trees in some areas that will
need to be removed as well as the fence
area will need to be extended.

A prison hut given to them from the
Beaudesert Council will need to be
relocated. When talking to the Club, they
were under the impression that this hut
was not to be removed from its current
position.
Opportunities:
Park is off a major road in the Logan Village
area.

synthetic wicket and a smaller concrete one
for children, 3 synthetic cricket practice
nets, 2 dressage arenas (one all weather
surface) 1 show jumping arena, 1 cross
country course, 2 cages, 1 club house with
club room and canteen, 1 toilet block , 1
change room block, 2 shipping containers, 4
lighting poles around practice nets, 3 water
tanks (1 with hole in it)
Limitations:
Lighting for the complex
Limited parking available - most vehicles
that park in the area have horse floats and
there is insufficient room for both the Pony
Club and Cricket Club members to park.
Issues faced by
current club/s:
Waterford Equestrian and Pony Club 
Lack of adequate car parking for cars
and floats especially as the club is
growing.

Fencing is rotting as it is over 20 years
old.

No lighting at facility. Occasionally
night meets are held and competitors
stay overnight at the grounds. Club is
growing and there are quite a few
younger members which is a concern as
hoons race their cars through the car
park with disregard to speed bumps
when events are held. The club is
worried about the children being
injured by these cars.

Another concern is the proposed
Energex access through the property.
They have been advised it will be a 40
metre easement and it will be in line
with some jumps on the Pony Clubs
grounds.
Logan Village Cricket Club -
Opportunities:

Maintenance of the ovals is an issue.
The club finds it hard to keep up with
the vegetation growth and a club
member is trimming trees on the
property when the club feels that
Council should be doing this.

Fence around the perimeter of the ovals
needs replacing.

Club owns 11 acres of environmentally
protected land behind their facility.
Issues faced by
current club

Inadequate designated car parking - cars
often have to park on the side of the road
which is not sealed. During rain, this
washes out and the surface is very
uneven.

No fencing around the premise- this
leaves the grounds open to entry by cars
who drive over the fields which in turn
causes damage to these.


Gravel car parking is available at the side
of the shed, but quickly runs out during


Car parking can be an issue, especially as
most cars are towing horse floats.

There are 4 undercover shade areas
