The Logan City Council's City Shape, Economic Transformation and Transport Committee met on September 9, 2026, to discuss several procurement and infrastructure-related matters. Key procurement discussions included the UEI Lab annual report focusing on revenue generation strategies and partnerships, and detailed updates on major intersection upgrades with an approximate $1 million annual budget relying on grant funding.

Councilors emphasized the importance of continued advocacy for state funding and developer contributions to support transport infrastructure. Additionally, there was a motion to investigate bringing traffic management services in-house to reduce costs, with a report requested by November 2026.

The meeting concluded with unanimous approvals of motions related to these infrastructure projects and procurement strategies.
