Logan City Council’s Water, Waste and Energy, Natural Areas Committee meeting was held on 7 October 2026. The committee unanimously approved next steps for confidential due diligence on a proposed beneficial use of buffer land at Chambers Flat Waste Water Treatment Plant. A councillor asked that the investigation assess any costs to Council, including potential asset depreciation; officers confirmed this would be considered. No contract award or vendor selection was reported. Greenovate’s 2025–26 financial statements report was also approved unanimously. The company reported that its recycling facility had reached functional completion in July, with practical completion targeted for the end of October following testing. Contractor variations remain under finalization before final capital costs can be confirmed. The facility is processing Logan and Ipswich material, with Redlands tonnage expected from 1 November under existing contractual arrangements. Councils and Greenovate are also finalizing arrangements for using glass-sand products; no purchase decision or agreement terms were specified.

The committee unanimously received the 2025–26 Investing in Nature Environmental Levy annual report, which records $12.55 million invested in conservation, waterways, climate resilience, community engagement and ecological land management. Discussion included a suggestion to investigate using levy funds for street trees, but no decision was made. Officers also acknowledged work on warning signs for flash-flood risk in Gould Adams Park, with no cost or procurement commitment identified. Overall, the meeting included project and expenditure reporting but no new procurement award or purchasing approval.
