Logan City Council was not legally required to build the Flood Portal, with Mayor Jon Raven confirming there was no statutory obligation to create it.
While councils are required to map flood hazards and provide public planning information, Logan already had existing systems in place, including the PD Hub and publicly available TLPI flood overlays.
Concerns have now been raised about why a separate Flood Portal was created, how much ratepayer money was spent building and maintaining it, and whether the portal presents complex long-term planning models and worst-case flood scenarios without enough context for the public.
Darren Power - Former Mayor of Logan City gave us an exclusive opportunity today to hear his side of the story, in response to Mayor Jon Raven throwing him under the bus on December 10th, in the last Council meeting of 2025.
Darren's message resonates with our Logan community - the Council have made a mistake (very recently) and they know it, so now the only question is how they'll fix it.
This video contains an important message about mental health, community advocacy, and the very real impact words and public statements can have on everyday people.
The Logan Ratepayers Association have worked hard to keep the Logan community informed about the flood mapping issue and the concerns being raised by residents. Much of that work has happened publicly, but there has also been a great deal happening behind the scenes.
What many people may not realise is that some of our committee members have experienced deeply hurtful and distressing behaviour simply for standing up and advocating for their community.
