Logan councillors want their divisons to defect Two Logan City councillors want their divisions to break away from Logan and join Redland City Council. Division 1 councillor Lisa Bradley and Division 10 councillor Darren Power believe their divisions are more compatible with Redland City than with Logan. The two divisions are on the eastern side of the Pacific Highway and cover more than 67 square kilometres. Logan's Division 1 is 22.35 square kilometres and encompasses parts of Daisy Hill, Priestdale, Rochedale South, Springwood and Underwood (part of) 22.35 square kilometres. It's Division 10 takes in Shailer Park, Carbrook, and parts of Cornubia and Daisy Hill. Redland City Mayor Karen Williams said she could understand the sentiment behind the two councillor's push to secede from Logan and would work with Logan mayor Pam Parker if a "formal" move were put forward. Cr Williams said she had regular discussions with Cr Parker and the two work closely. "If there were to be a formal move, it would have to be approved by the state government and one would expect that the state would consult the communities and councils involved," Cr Williams said. People who live in Redland City know the Redlands is the jewel in the crown of South East Queenslandand the best place to live, work and play. Our reputation is spreading. Now, even people from eastern Logan City want to vote with their feet and make the Redlands their home. Cr Parker branded the two councillors' bid as an annual publicity stunt and said she would consider the move when the both councillors made formal inquiries about joining Redland City Council. Division 10's Cr Darren Power said the move to Redland was a "serious" push backed by business and a website, called "Ticket to Redlands." He said his division had a lot of things in common with Redland, including town planning and traffic issues. We abut Redlands and are very concerned about the town planning issues such as Logan City Council directing smaller housing, unit housing and in-fill developments into the eastern side of Logan. At the moment, we are a very middle-class area made up of workers, teachers, nurses those types of occupations and we are proud of where we live and we're happy where we live but we are not happy with the council's push towards smaller housing and in-fill housing. Redlands also needs support because it has a very low rate base and it's got some large issues on the way. Demographer Bernard Salt said he was concerned about the "unAustralian" nature of a movement to secede from one area to join another more affluent area. "This could lead to more challenged communities being more isolated, which is not the Australian way," he said.
