PURPOSE OF REPORT/BACKGROUND
Business Plan
The current lease with LBI expires on 30 June 2021. LBI are seeking to have this lease renewed to continue the success attained since taking over the management of the centre five (5) years ago.

Under this arrangement, LBI have committed to not increase facility hire costs for a minimum of 5 years with a 3% increase implemented in the 5th year. Upon taking over the management of the venue in 2016, LBI reduced hire fees by 10%. If Council were supportive of establishing a new lease with LBI it would be recommended that this be for a period of 10 years with no option so as to mitigate any risks associated with the organisations capacity in the longer term.
LBI are committed to continuing to focus on the following four (4) key elements of success:
Delivering outstanding customer service and customer experience;
Reducing end-user costs associated with sport and recreation activities;
Providing targeted and positive investment into the local community; and
Developing the Cornubia Park Sports Centre into the sporting capital of South-East Queensland.

FINANCIAL/RESOURCE IMPLICATIONS
Nil
RISK MANAGEMENT IMPLICATIONS
The table below presents the risk implications identified:
Table 3: Risk Implications
Risk Mitigation
Reduced access to facilities for other non-basketball users
LBI has demonstrated over the last five (5) years that it has been able to accommodate and grow the use of the facility by other sports.
Reputational risk to Council due to poor management by LBI
LBI has demonstrated over the last five (5) years that it has the ability to manage the facility to a high standard with no complaints being received by Council over this period.
Loss of management experience and quality leadership due to changes in staff or management committee
LBI have demonstrated strong leadership at the management committee level and through the General Manager including the ability to recruit a quality applicant following the departure of the previous General Manager. This is further mitigated by reducing the term of the lease from 10+10 as requested by LBI to ten (10) years only.

Review and the future of the Cornubia Park Sports Centre proposal summary:
Under the management of Logan Basketball Inc. (LBI), Cornubia Park Sports Centre (CPSC) has become the heart of the community and a force for positive change with Cornubia and the city of Logan. This has been achieved by focusing on four key elements of success:
• Delivering outstanding customer service and customer experience • Reducing end-user costs associated with sport and recreation activities • Providing targeted and positive investment into the local community • Developing CPSC into the sporting capital of South East Queensland
LBI is now seeking lease renewal to continue the success attained since taking over management of CPSC. During LBI’s management of CPSC, the local community and Logan City Council has benefited by:
• Savings to Logan City Council in not having to meet the management costs of the venue • Reduction in sporting fees for local clubs and schools due to the reduced court hire rates • Reduction in cost of access to sport recreation opportunities for community members • Associated event costs that Logan City Council venues charge that Logan Basketball do not • Increased engagement from local business and community organisations due to a not-for-profit organisation running CPSC and sharing resources,
promotion and investment. • Continued investment into CPSC from LBI – (In excess of $450,000 invested into CPSC over the current 5-year lease)
The future vision for LBI and CPSC is continued investment in the centre and growth and redevelopment of the Cornubia Park Precinct. LBI views the precinct as a potential community sporting hub that could be further developed to become an example regarded state-wide and unrivalled in Queensland. Low-cost sharing of resources between organisations to unite, strengthen and build in turn uniting the local community and keeping costs down for families and the people of Logan city to engage in sport and recreation.

Association Overview – Our Values
Logan Basketball Inc. (LBI), founded in 1999, is a not-for-profit Incorporated Association with a strong connection with our Local Community. Over the last 21 years the Association has grown to be one of the pre-eminent sporting Associations within Queensland.
Our members form what is known within the community as the Thunder Family. The Thunder Family is made up of 3000 active playing members within the Logan region, over 2800 active playing members within our various School Participation Programs and a large contingent of referees, coaches, volunteers and supporters.
LBI caters for ages from 4 years old through to Seniors Basketball and participation through to elite level competition and pathways.
With competitions encompassing all three of the sporting facilities within the Logan Region at Mount Warren Park, Cornubia Park and Crestmead, and a wide range of days available, there is opportunity for everyone and anyone to be involved within our Association.
LBI’s success can largely be attributed to the three pillars that we have built the Association upon:
• Family (Thunder Family): Everything we do is influenced by the concept of Family and ensuring that every member of our association feels a strong connection to the Thunder Family.
• Professionalism: With every decision made or program developed, it must tick the box of being professionally developed and delivered. Our professionalism is our key point of difference between our business model and our competitors and has been at the forefront of our success.
• Progression: The application of the principle of progression to all of our decision making has led to us continually striving for greater success. We are constantly assessing our business model, processes and technology to ensure that we are at the forefront of our industry.
These pillars of success have been applied to our management of Cornubia Park Sports Centre to create a facility that is at the forefront of the industry.
The above pillars inform all of our decision-making processes regarding recruiting staff and building a successful team. The current team is examined in more detail below.
Notable Logan Basketball Association Achievements:
• 11 Junior State Championships • 3 Current National Performance Program Athletes • 12 International Representatives • Average of 873 Crowd Attendance per game for QBL/NBL1 Program (Highest in League) • Queensland State League Women’s Champions 2020

Community savings under Logan Basketball management of the Cornubia Park Sports Centre:
CPSC has remained a multi-sport venue that provides a tangible benefit to the local community through providing opportunities for the community to access sport and recreation activities. Ancillary to this, CPSC also provides business services to the community in the form of office, meeting, and conference space for hire, and grant opportunities.
Under LBI’s management we have reduced the costs for the users of CPSC. This reduction has assisted organisations become more viable and provided more discretionary income for households to use due to reduced sporting fees.
Reduction in Costs Based on Cornubia Park Sports Centre Court Hire Rates Average annually Casual Shooting Day Rate Shoulder Rate Night Rate
Under Council $26,608 $132,668 $64,526 $155,809 Under LBI $19,956 $120,607 $54,260 $132,821 Difference $6,852 $12,060 $10,266 $22,988
Total Saving to the Local Sporting Community= $52,167 per year* Total saving to the local sporting community over 5-year lease= $ 260,835
*This saving does not consider the following additional savings to the community: ü Savings to Logan City Council in not having to meet the Management Costs of the Venue. ü Reductions in Sporting fees due to the reduced court hire rates. ü Associated event costs that Logan City Council Venues charge that Logan Basketball do not.
This has allowed LBI to grow the range and number of sporting options available for members of the community.
LBI continues to maintain a focus of our management of the facility to offer some of the lowest indoor court hire in South East Queensland.
Page 27 of 69

Maintaining a Multi-Sport Focus over the last 5 years and into the new lease:
Since being awarded the management rights, LBI has maintained a multi-sport focus at the core of its management of CPSC:
LBI believe that through our management, strategic vision and growth, that we have moved past the simple notion that other sports are competitors in our industry. Instead, LBI look at lack of activity within the population as the major competitor and we firmly believe the key to combating this is to ensure a greater number of people pursue an active recreation in any given sport.

• LBI believes that the recent major engagement of Volleyball Queensland (2021) as a regular venue user (No previous regular volleyball competition at CPSC over the period) will significantly boost volleyball use in the new lease.
With the additional SPSHS MPS indoor court in the Cornubia Park precinct to be basketball specific, LBI will have greater court availability at CPSC to accommodate other indoor sports.

Local Business investment into the Cornubia Park Sports Centre and Logan Basketball:
While maintaining the Multi-Sport focus has been key under the management from LBI, the business model of CPSC remains: The user pays to access the venue and the venue uses these funds to not only operate the venue but also provide positive and targeted investment within the community.
This is achieved through ensuring the core elements of the business are managed effectively and having the basketball Association fund a portion of the operational costs of the centre. LBI has also been able to grow new business and advertising revenue for the centre:
ü Naming Rights Sponsorship of CPSC (Bendigo Logan Community Bank) ü 100% Annual Take-Up of Billboard Sponsorship (Waiting list for new businesses) ü New advertising opportunities created within the Centre to meet demand
Advertising Revenue per year

• Promote small business and community networking around CPSC • Cater to all members of the Community with engaging programs such

Dear Greg,
We are happy to offer support to Logan Basketball in its endeavour to continue as leaseholder and managers of Cornubia Park.
As you know our organisation has a long history with the venue right from its opening day, we have had a continual presence at Cornubia Park as a client.
Since Logan Basketball have held the management rights, we have seen significant improvements in the management and maintenance of the venue. We appreciate it is a difficult job trying to keep all hirers happy with the varied requirements all have.
We hope that Logan Basketball is again successful and continues with the management rights and we (hirers) can benefit from a management team that understands sports needs and strives to deliver a venue that all of Logan City will be proud of.
Kind Regards

18th February 2021 Dear Logan City Council, Re: Logan Basketball Inc. Lease Renewal at Cornubia Park Sports Centre It is without reservation that Basketball Queensland writes this letter of support for Logan Basketball Inc. to have their lease renewed for the management rights of Cornubia Park Sports Centre. The arrangement over the last 5 years has:
• Allowed Logan Basketball to ensure its financial stability through effective venue management; and
• Seen the growth in basketball within Logan without there being detriment to the other sports; and
• Provided the community with a low-cost multi-sport and event centre that they can access; and
• Allowed Cornubia Park Sports Centre be developed, both through Government funding and self-funded exercises ensuring that it continued to be a high quality offering to the community.
This arrangement when compared to the years prior has seen a great cost saving to both the community and Logan City Council and I believe is one that should be renewed without hesitation. Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me on the details below. Regards, Joshua Pascoe Chief Operating Officer Basketball Queensland

Dear Councillor,
Cornubia Park Netball Association is pleased to endorse its support for Logan Basketball Inc as they seek renewal of their leasehold of the Cornubia Park Sports Centre.
CPNA has enjoyed a close working relationship with Logan Basketball over the last five years and have enjoyed uninterrupted and regular use of the facility for our Indoor Netball Competition as well as junior tournaments and trials.
During this time we have found the LBI management team to be extremely professional, supportive, and committed to excellence in providing us with facilities to operate our competitions and programs. They have always been accommodating and flexible and on a couple of occasions, able to help us out last minute when wet weather has threatened our own outdoor competition. They have proven to us to be excellent managers of the facility and nurturing of all sports in the community.
Over its tenure, we have seen many projects and capital improvements, like the changeroom upgrades, made to the facility which has enhanced the experience of using it. Logan Basketball have also been excellent custodians of the building, with the courts being well maintained and resurfaced annually.
In business matters, the LBI teams have always been professional and courteous. They have maintained a consultative manner in dealings with us as evidenced in establishing a community group set up to address issues that involve all the occupants of the sporting precinct.
We have no hesitation in recommending and endorsing Logan Basketball as continued managers and leaseholders of the Cornubia Park Sports Centre
Yours Faithfully

To Whom It May Concern,
RE: Letter of Support for Logan Basketball
I am writing this letter in support of Logan Basketball in their management of the Cornubia Park
Sports Centre. In January 2020 my business, Southside Martial Arts Academy (SMAA), commenced
hiring one of the rooms available. Currently we are servicing twenty-five students who train two
times per week in karate. Hopefully interest continues to increase and we are able to extend the
number of days further to continue to support the children and families within the local community.
The management group at Cornubia Park Sports Centre have been more than accommodating to
assist in the commencement of a new business and especially throughout Covid-19 where operation
was limited. I have found them to be professional, understanding and fair in all manners of business.
I would support the renewal of their lease and management of the stadium.
If you have any questions or seek further information please don’t hesitate to contact me on
0478 811 845.
Kind regards,
Ashley Densmore

PURPOSE OF REPORT/BACKGROUND
In November 2020, Missy Knox approached Council seeking Council to consider a proposal to name a local park after her father, Uncle Reg Knox who died in April 2020. Subsequently, the Deputy Mayor suggested consideration be given to naming the Berrinba Wetlands Interpretive Centre in honour of Uncle Reg Knox.

Report Page 2 of 3
It is also proposed that the Interpretative Centre could incorporate and showcase some of Uncle Reg’s Aboriginal artwork or other First Nation’s artwork supported by the Knox family and First Nations community. The artwork would feature elements and designs linking with the natural environment and wildlife around Berrinba Wetlands and would be funded through the Environmental Levy recurrent budget.
Uncle Reg was born in 1934 at Toomelah Aboriginal Mission and lived in Logan City for the past 50 years, winning admiration and respect over a long period for his outstanding artwork, contribution to the community and commitment to working with young people.
Uncle Reg’s artistic ability is recognised locally, nationally, and internationally with many of his works being sold and shown in galleries here and overseas. Among his many art awards and honours, Uncle Reg was commissioned in 1986 to produce an artwork as a gift for Pope John Paul the Second on his Papal visit to Australia.
Through his art, Uncle Reg was involved with many institutions including schools, disabled and respite centres, jails and museums. Uncle Reg spent many years working with secondary school students at risk and created art works in most schools across the city.
A quiet achiever, Uncle Reg worked voluntarily for many years to assist many community organisations, building bridges between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.
In 2009, Uncle Reg received the Male Elder of the Year Award as part of NAIDOC Week celebrations.

PURPOSE OF REPORT/BACKGROUND
The vision of Council’s Community Safety Program is to create a safer City of Logan by adopting a holistic approach to addressing community safety. Our overall aim in delivering upon this vision is to decrease crime and increase feelings of safety within the City of Logan.
The Strategy and Action Plan was endorsed by Council at its meeting of 18 November 2020 (Minute No 152/2020). The Strategy and Action Plan has been developed to provide a strategic framework for the coordination and delivery of community safety initiatives across the City of Logan over the next 5 years.
The Strategy and Action Plan outlines that the Community Safety Program will provide Council with progress reports along with an annual report to monitor the performance and progress of the overall outcomes of the Strategy and Action Plan.

Research and planning
Community Safety Program Annual Action Plan
Between January – May 2021, the Community Safety Program developed an Annual Action Plan to help guide, track and evaluate the implementation of the Strategy and Action Plan. More specifically, the Annual Action Plan highlights planned projects and initiatives the Community Safety Program will be focusing on in 2021. This includes:
Research and Analysis Forum.
Crime Profiles.
Community Engagement Plan.
Community Safety Practitioners Network.
Divisional community-based safety and crime prevention initiatives.
City-wide community-based safety and crime prevention initiatives: o Hooning. o Domestic and family violence (DFV). o Child/ youth safety. o Unlawful use of a motor vehicle (UUMV). o Services at the Square/ Services on Station.
Supporting local volunteers and safety advocates.
Creating and maintaining safer places and spaces.
Delivery of the Logan Safety Camera Program.
Research and Analysis Forum
Between January – May 2021, 3 Research and Analysis Forum meetings were held. The forum’s membership is made up of representatives from Council, Queensland Police Service (QPS), Community Corrections, Griffith University and the Department of Child Safety, Youth and Women. The chosen topic for this research is youth offending, specifically in relation to UUMV At these meetings Griffith University presented their preliminary research on the groups chosen topic and next steps were discussed.
To assist in determining the motivation of young people in committing this type of crime, the group are also hoping to conduct interviews with young offenders. It is hoped that this information will be used to develop relevant crime prevention initiatives that each of the forum members can implement across their respective organisations in attempt to reduce the rate of UUMV across the City of Logan.
Following the last meeting, a group of young offenders have been identified and Griffith University are currently in the process of obtaining the necessary approvals to progress this research.

Community empowerment
Divisional community-based safety and crime prevention initiatives
The Community Safety Program delivers a range of community-based crime prevention and community safety initiatives. The purpose of these initiatives is to target specific crime and/ or community safety concerns relevant to each Council division. The annual crime statistics for the city, results from community engagement and advice received from local Councillors, police and other key stakeholders are analysed and help to inform what, where and how divisional community safety and crime prevention initiatives are delivered. The following are the divisional community-based safety and crime prevention initiatives that have been planned and/ or delivered during this reporting period.
Division 1
Safe Night Out project – Council held a Drink Rite Event at Springwood Lions in partnership with the Liquor Industry Action Group (LIAG), Queensland Police Service (QPS) and Queensland Health. This initiative educates people about the alcohol content of different drinks, what makes a standard drink, and the effect alcohol has on consumers. Furthermore, it demonstrates how alcohol effects people differently and that guessing your own breath alcohol concentration level is difficult and shouldn’t be relied upon. This event provides a memorable, hands-on demonstration of why alcohol and driving don’t mix. At this event, 6 participants consumed various alcoholic beverages and were breathalysed at 20 min intervals in order to demonstrate the difference in intoxication levels between different people. In addition to this, while this event was being undertaken, 27 other community members were directly engaged regarding the responsible drinking of alcohol, the effects of alcohol on their health and were able to be breath tested by police.
Senior safety – Results of the 2020 Safe City Logan Community Survey showed that seniors tend to have a higher fear of crime compared to other age groups in the community. To address these perceptions, the Community Safety Program held a Crime Time Trivia event at Elements Retirement Living, Springwood on the 25th of May. This event was designed to be a fun way to educate senior residents on relevant crime prevention and community safety information as well as address incorrect perceptions of vulnerability.
Division 2
Mayes Place project – As part of the response to anti-social behaviour occurring in the Department of Housing complexes in the vicinity of 139 Mayes Avenue, Kingston, the Community Safety Program in partnership with QPS, Department of Housing and Crime Stoppers have designed stickers with direct crime prevention information. These stickers will be placed on wheelie bins which are in highly visible locations at the front of the unit complexes. It is anticipated this initiative will reduce the amount of graffiti on bins, while also providing direct crime prevention messaging to residents. As a part of the roll out of this project, a letter box drop will be conducted of the unit complexes and all residents will be provided with information pertaining to vehicle and home security, as well as information relating to the correct reporting of offences. This project is expected to be completed by the end of June.
Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) communities DFV resources – The Community Safety Program have developed DFV educational resources specifically designed for CALD communities. These resources consist of a DFV safety plan as well as explain what DFV looks like and how to report and seek assistance. These have been developed in partnership with the QPS, Access Community Services, Multilink, the Islamic Women’s Association of Australia (IWAA), members of the Not Now, Not Ever in Logan Reference Group, as well as Council’s Community Development Program and Marketing Program. These resources have been translated into 5 languages – Swahili, Samoan, Farsi, Arabic and Hindi which were identified in consultation with our partners. These resources have been distributed to 99 Steps, Multilink, QPS and IWAA for their use.

Report Page 4 of 16
On the 12th of May in partnership with 99 Steps and the QPS, the Community Safety Program assisted in the delivery of a presentation to CALD community members as well as their case workers around the topic of healthy relationships. The feedback received from attendees was positive and another presentation will be planned for later this year.
Division 3
There were no community-based safety and crime prevention initiatives undertaken within Division 3 during this reporting period. The Community Safety Program will deliver at least one proactive community-based safety and crime prevention initiative later this year, which will be developed in consultation with the local Councillor.
Division 4
MATE Cultural Change Workshop – As a result of community concerns regarding high incidents of DFV within Yarrabilba, the MATE Cultural Change Workshop facilitated by Griffith University was delivered on 27th of April at the Family and Community Place. This initiative was undertaken in partnership with the Yarrabilba Stakeholder Collaborative Network and Griffith University. This workshop is aimed at creating safer communities through education and training on being an active bystander. This training provides participants with a suite of tools they can apply to any situation (racism, discrimination, sexual harassment, violence) to address the behaviour respectfully and safely. This training is unique in that it is not aimed at the victim or the perpetrator but rather at all individuals who may witness disrespectful behaviour. A total of 23 people attended the training which was made up of both community members and professionals working in the community safety sector. Participants stated that they gained a deeper knowledge of DFV as well as obtained practical skills on how to intervene safely when witnessing unacceptable behaviour. All of those who attended said that they would recommend this training to their friends or colleagues.
Division 5
Safe plate event – Steal from motor vehicle continues to be one of the highest reported offences within Division 5, this includes theft of registration plates. To address this issue, a safe plate event was held on the 29th of April at Marsden on Fifth in partnership with the QPS and Volunteers in Policing. This initiative directly addresses the theft of registration plates by replacing ordinary screws with one-way screws which can only be removed by a specialised tool held by the QPS. To further support this initiative, the Community Safety Program have also purchased and donated $2,000 worth of one-way-screws to the QPS.
Division 6
Park activation – As a result of concerns raised by residents in relation to anti-social behaviour occurring in Evergreen Park, Loganlea, the Community Safety Program in partnership with the QPS and other key stakeholders held a community event in the park on the 29th of May. The purpose of this event was to activate the space by encouraging legitimate use of the park and proactively educating residents on a variety of community safety topics, including correct reporting procedures. This event included prosocial activities, educative material and interactive displays from relevant service providers. A letterbox drop of pertinent community safety information was also undertaken in neighbouring streets.

Division 7
Safe Night Out project – Based on the successful delivery of the Drink Rite Event delivered in Division 1, the Community Safety Program have partnered with the QPS, LIAG and Queensland Health to deliver another Drink Rite event at the Greenbank RSL on the 20th of November. This initiative educates people about the alcohol content of different drinks, what makes a standard drink, and the effect alcohol has on consumers. Furthermore, it demonstrates how alcohol effects people differently and that guessing your own breath alcohol concentration level is difficult and shouldn’t be relied upon.
Division 8
There were no community-based safety and crime prevention initiatives undertaken within Division 8 during this reporting period. The Community Safety Program will deliver at least one proactive community-based safety and crime prevention initiative later this year, which will be developed in consultation with the local Councillor.
Division 9
Community engagement activity – In response to residents’ concerns in relation to vehicles being driven dangerously and residents feeling less safe within parts of Munruben, a door knock was conducted on the 14th of April by the Community Safety Program. This was delivered in partnership with the local Councillor and the Station Crime Reduction Officer from Jimboomba Police Station. In total 21 residents were engaged to determine the nature of the issues being experienced. Crime prevention packs were also delivered to residents. These packs contained information relating to home/vehicle security, information on how to report incidents correctly to the relevant authority, a copy of the quick guide to community safety and information on the current QPS initiative – Operation Own It.
Division 10
Business crime prevention – Due to other theft continuing to be one of the highest reported offences within Division 10, the Community Safety Program delivered 240 business crime prevention information packs to businesses in and around the Hyperdome Shopping Centre. These packs included height markers, loss prevention tips, fact sheets, and information on incident reporting. Delivery of these packs helped raise awareness of and encouraged local businesses to adopt crime prevention strategies which may reduce their risk of becoming a victim of this type of crime in the future.
Senior safety – Results of the 2020 Safe City Logan Community Survey showed that seniors tend to have a higher fear of crime compared to other age groups in the community. To address these perceptions, the Community Safety Program plan to hold a Crime Time Trivia event at the Blue Care Wirunya Retirement Village, Carbrook on the 17th of June. This event is designed to be a fun way to educate senior residents on relevant crime prevention and community safety information as well as address incorrect perceptions of vulnerability.
Division 11
There were no community-based safety and crime prevention initiatives undertaken within Division 11 during this reporting period. The Community Safety Program will deliver at least one proactive community-based safety and crime prevention initiative later this year, which will be developed in consultation with the local Councillor.

Domestic and Family Violence
Not Now, Not Ever in Logan domestic violence campaign
The Community Safety Program continues to support and remain a member of the Not Now, Not Ever in Logan reference group. The Not Now, Not Ever in Logan campaign is a community-based initiative which aims to reduce DFV in the City of Logan.
Between January – May 2021, a member from the Community Safety Program attended 2 reference group meetings and provided an update on the DFV CALD communities resources and proposed engagement activities. A request was made to use the Council’s DFV artwork and resources to promote on the Not Now, Not Ever in Logan social media in the lead up to DFV Month in May.
An update was also provided on the unveiling of the purple seat in Beenleigh Town Square during the 16 days of Activism which occurred in November 2020. During the 16 days, a 30 second video ‘Women Should be Safe’ was played 6 times a day on the big screen in Town Square. These initiatives are aimed at raising awareness of DFV.

Donation of Live Life Alarms
Late last year, discussions were held with the Centre for Women and Co. as well as 99 Steps on the type of meaningful support Council can provide to victims of DFV. As a result of these discussions, 15 personal alarms were purchased, 10 of which were donated to the Centre for Women and Co. and 5 to 99 Steps. The mobile alarms are an SOS alarm that work wherever there is 3G mobile coverage through either Telstra or Optus. When activated, the pendant sends 5 help messages which also contain a link to Google Maps showing the wearer’s location. It then calls up to 5 emergency contacts. When answered, the wearer can talk hands free through the pendant. Triple zero can be included as one of the contacts. Staff from the Centre for Women and Co. and 99 Steps were extremely grateful for this donation and for the assistance it provides to those in high risk DFV situations.
DFV Vigil
The Community Safety Program in partnership with the Centre for Women and Co. and YFS hosted a candle lighting vigil on the 19th of May to remember the victims of DFV and to acknowledge the impact felt by their families and loved ones. The vigil was held in the forecourt of the Logan Entertainment Centre as part of Queensland’s DFV Prevention Month. This month aims to raise awareness of DFV and to send a clear message that DFV in families and homes will not be tolerated.
DFV Safe Phone Project
Earlier this year the Community Safety Program coordinated a collection of phones to be donated to the DFV Safe Phone Project. The purpose of this project is to donate old phones to those who are trying to escape DFV relationships. The donated phones were delivered to the Logan Central Police Station. A further collection will be coordinated late this year.
Child / youth safety
Youth Street Hubz
The Youth Street Hubz is an initiative which the Community Safety Program developed in partnership with Youth Justice, YFS and Crestmead PCYC. This project is designed as a youth specific pop-up hub aimed at targeting youth needs and acts as a one-stop-shop for essential support services available in Logan. Using a soft entry approach, this initiative aims to create referral pathways for young people in Logan who may be at risk.
The first Youth Street Hubz for 2021 was held at Crestmead Park on the 28th of February. Approximately 50 young people and their parents attended the event where they engaged with local support services in activities such as stress ball and badge making, ball games, arts and crafts, music and dance. Approximately 70% of young people and 28% of adults who attended were referred to local services.
The second Youth Street Hubz event for the year was held on the 15th of April at the same location during Queensland Youth Week. As part of Youth Week celebrations, YFS and QPS donated additional prizes and merchandise to assist with youth engagement. Extra activities were also organised including a rock-climbing wall and BBQ. Approximately 250 people attend the event and engaged with local service providers on the day, enabling further referrals to be made. Due to the unanticipated large numbers of attendees at this event, it was not possible to distinguish the number of referrals of young people versus adults.
The next Youth Street Hubz event is scheduled to occur on the 10th of June at Crestmead Skate Park, Crestmead.

Unlawful use of a motor vehicle
Stop Sneak Theft campaign
In 2020, the Community Safety Program secured funding through the National Motor Vehicle Theft Reduction Council (NMVTRC) to deliver a Stop Sneak Theft campaign across key areas within the City of Logan. This campaign aims to reduce the theft of vehicles in Australia that occur through residential burglaries in order to access car keys, most often by ‘sneak theft’ (i.e. the thief entering the house undetected and taking the car keys without the owner knowing).
Whilst acknowledging that this is a city-wide issue, the Stop Sneak Theft campaign targets suburbs which have been identified by the NMVTRC as those with the highest rate of vehicle theft in 2019.
This campaign commenced in March in partnership with Council’s Marketing and Media Programs and the QPS and concluded at the end of May. During this campaign, the following deliverables occurred:
Promotional posters and postcards were distributed to police stations and libraries.
Stop Sneak Theft content was uploaded to the Logan City Council website.
Social media material was sent to a number of key stakeholders for posting on their respective platforms.
Stop Sneak Theft articles were published in the ‘Our Logan’ magazine, the Community Services e-newsletter and the Crestmead and Daisy Hill Neighbourhood Watch newsletters.
A total of 7 community engagement and information stalls were held across the city.
Logan radio stations ‘Rebel’ and ‘Breeze’ rolled out a radio campaign reinforcing the Stop Sneak Theft messaging.
Targeted Logan City Council social media campaign.
Targeted letterbox drops.
Services at the Square / Services on Station Hubs
The award winning, Services at the Square and Services on Station Hubs serve as a one-stop-shop for essential support services available in Logan. This includes services such as employment and training, housing and accommodation, health, drug and addiction services, financial aid and cultural services. These hubs are held regularly in both Beenleigh and Logan Central and are designed to service clients of Community Corrections. The aim of this initiative is to reduce reoffending by targeting the underlying social and economic causes of crime.
Between January – May 2021, 2 Services on Station Hub events were held outside the Queensland Government offices on Ewing Road, Logan Central. Approximately 70 referred clients of Community Corrections and 12 community members attended, of which 54 direct links to local service providers were made. Knitted donations of blankets, jumpers and toys were also distributed to those in need in preparation for the cooler months.
The next Services at the Square Hub is scheduled to occur on the 8th of July at Beenleigh Town Square.
Supporting local volunteers and safety advocates
Neighbourhood Watch (NHW)
On the 6th of February, a member from the Community Safety Program attended and presented at a plaque laying ceremony in Rotary Park, Jimboomba to honour the contribution of long time NHW Coordinator Stan Wells who passed away in 2018.
The Community Safety Program attended the Crestmead NHW Neighbour day event held on the 28th of March to promote the Stop Sneak Theft initiative and other crime prevention and community safety information. This involved a joint interactive information display in partnership with representatives from Crime Stoppers. A total of 26 residents were directly engaged during this event.

Places and spaces
Logan Safety Camera Program (LSCP)
The LSCP is instrumental in creating a safer city for our residents, visitors and businesses. The LSCP currently monitors over 900 camera feeds across the city, which are monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by our Monitoring Officers.
LSCP quarterly incident update
The LSCP’s incident data system captures, records and reports on incident data on a quarterly basis. Therefore, the following incident data captured within this report is between January – March 2021. The April – June 2021 incident data will be reported on in the next Council progress report.
Each incident in this report has been captured and monitored live by the LSCP Monitoring Officers. In the event that an incident is captured that is believed to be a criminal offence or where a community members safety is at immediate risk, the relevant authorities are contacted and advised immediately by the Monitoring Officers. Incidents that do not pose a threat and are not deemed to be a criminal offence, such as anti-social behaviour, are monitored and noted until Monitoring Officers believe all community members are safe with no criminal act being committed.
It is noted that all camera numbers listed in this report are current as at 12 April 2021.
The graph, 'Incidents captured' provides an overview of incidents captured across the LSCP network. For the purpose of comparison, this graph shows data for the following quarters:
January 2020 – March 2020 (same reporting quarter, previous year);
October 2020 - December 2020 (previous reporting quarter); and
January 2021 - March 2021 (current reporting quarter).
Please refer to Logan Safety Camera Program - Incident types and definitions list for a detailed list of how each incident is defined (attached to this report).
The total number of incidents captured during the January – March 2021 quarter (1,129) has decreased slightly when compared to both this time last year (1,258) and the previous quarter (1,289). This decrease is consistent with QPS data which has also seen a slight decrease in incidents across the city. During this time 93 footage requests have been received and actioned by the Monitoring Room. This has remained consistent with the previous quarter where 95 requests for footage were received.
According to the crime statistics published by the QPS via their online maps and statistics website (https://www.police.qld.gov.au/maps-and-statistics) 6,916 offences were documented by QPS during this quarter. As stated, a total of 1,129 incidents were captured, reported on and preserved by the LSCP network during this period, which equates to 16.32% of the total offences recorded by the QPS. The LSCP network has the ability to capture footage of just under 0.6% of the City of Logan. It should be noted that not every incident captured by the LSCP was attended to by QPS, however by comparing these statistics it shows that despite the LSCP network only having the ability to view a small percentage of the city it is effectively capturing a large portion of incidents occurring throughout Logan. During this quarter the LSCP Monitoring Room has been utilised by QPS both proactively and reactively on approximately 4,000 occasions.

Report Page 10 of 16
This demonstrates that cameras on the network are correctly placed and in position to capture incidents and assist police with intelligence and footage where possible.
The below graph shows that this quarter, in comparison to the previous reporting quarters, has seen slight overall rises in license plate recognition (LPR) activations as well as increased offences of stealing/burglary, robbery, assault, weapons offences, and graffiti being reported by the LSCP Monitoring Room staff. The rise in these categories can be attributed to intelligence received from the District Tasking Coordination Centre (DTACC) and other branches of the QPS, which assist to direct our Monitoring Officers with their duties. Each of the remaining categories have remained stable when compared to the previous quarter however have risen in comparison to this time last year.
Incidents captured within reporting quarters:
Refer to the Logan Safety Camera Program - CCTV safety camera location list for a list of the safety cameras located within each division separated by the precincts and other locations (attached to this report).
Mobile camera deployments
Between January – May 2021 the Mobile Safety Camera Ute was deployed on 10 occasions of these, 6 were Councillor requests and 3 were from Council staff and 1 was from QPS. No incidents were captured or reported during these deployments.
LSCP general enquiries
Between January – May 2021 the CCTV Operations Officer and Monitoring Officers responded to and actioned approximately 6 requests for assistance during business hours each day. These requests are separate from those received from the QPS. These requests have included customer enquiries, internal Council requests, right to information requests and requests for assistance relating to CCTV systems and hardware from across Council.
LSCP Capital replacement and works
Between January – May 2021, the installations of CCTV cameras occurred at the following locations:

Rochedale Rovers Football Club
14 new cameras have been installed in and around Rochedale Rovers Football Club. These cameras
have enhanced the safety and security of the new facility. These cameras are fitted with object
detection analytics alarms. This in practice means that if an intruder were to enter the facility, the
Monitoring Officers would be alerted in real time and would notify the QPS and facility owners
immediately.
Council corporate camera integration
Between January – May 2021, the LSCP has continued to support the integration of Council’s corporate
CCTV cameras into the LSCP Monitoring Room. This includes the following:
Logan Hyperdome Library - As part of the Corporate Camera Integration project, 2 new
cameras have been installed at the Logan Hyperdome Library to monitor the front entrance,
the drive-through area and surrounding shopping centre access roads. The installation of these
cameras will allow for the Monitoring Officers to monitor the facility in real-time, thereby
improving the security of the library and its users.
Critical infrastructure projects
Between January – May 2021, the LSCP continued to support the Water Business Branch in the delivery
of their critical infrastructure security project. These works have included:
Further consultation regarding various sites and projects including the expansion of the
Loganholme Wastewater Treatment Plant. This will include additional cameras needing to be
installed to cover the expansion of the facility.
The LSCP continued to assist with the Water Business Security Tender by providing technical
advice.
Completion of the Cedar Grove Wastewater Treatment Plant security integration project,
which provides comprehensive monitoring of this state-of-the-art facility and assists with the
sites unmanned operation.
Technical tender for the supply, installation, configuration and maintenance of equipment associated
with the LSCP

LSCP collaboration projects
The LSCP works closely with a number of both internal and external stakeholders in the delivery of
CCTV across the city. During January – May 2021, these works included:
Continued collaboration to progress the Translink / Logan City Council Integration Project. This
project was intended to be completed earlier this year, however due to technical limitations
identified, this project has been delayed allowing Translink technical staff to investigate
alternative solutions for streaming video into the LSCP Monitoring Room. On completion, this
project will bring a total of 65 camera streams back to the LSCP Monitoring Room from
Translink bus depots located at Logan Central, Park Ridge, Browns Plains, Slacks Creek and the
Logan Hyperdome.
Consultation with RCM Branch regarding the camera security system for Bega Road Depot and
storage facility.
Continued collaboration with Economic Development and Strategy Branch on upgrade to the
Logan Village Green including the park and the river walk area.
Continued collaboration with RIP Branch regarding the installation of cameras at Magnesium
Drive and Browns Plains Road roundabout as well as Dennis Road, Springwood. These cameras
will be linked to the LSCP Monitoring Room.
LSCP Monitoring Room technology
Between January – May 2021, the following works have been completed in relation to improving the
LSCP Monitoring Room technology:
Camera Analytic Alarms Monitoring – A custom-built standalone application to facilitate alarm
monitoring of camera alerts has been integrated into the LSCP Monitoring Room. Due to the
growing number of cameras performing active object analysis and alerting, the need for a
standalone application was identified to reduce load on the video monitoring system. This new
alarm handling application enables the Monitoring Officers to easily identify, acknowledge and
bypass alarms as required, reducing false alerts and streamlining the process of reporting
intruder events.
Remote Access App – To improve cyber security within the monitoring Room, additional
security policies/ procedures have been implemented regarding Council staff access to remote
CCTV applications. A complete overhaul of remote user credentials was performed, and new
access credentials are being distributed to relevant stakeholders who have signed the
appropriate responsible use forms.
Investigation and trial of new camera technology
To ensure continuous improvement in the technology utilised by the LSCP, the LSCP commenced investigating new Artificial Intelligence (AI) camera technology. As part this investigation the LSCP identified a number of internal stakeholders that may also benefit from the application of this technology. In February, a meeting was held with our internal partners to showcase the new technology available and to seek feedback from them as to its applicability to their core business. Following this meeting, the LSCP in partnership with key stakeholders planned how, when and where these new AI cameras will be trialled across the city. The LSCP is now in the process of installing and trialling this new technology.
Community safety assessments for liquor licence applications
Advice was provided on 9 liquor licensing applications during January – May 2021.
