Logan clubs get shot at Meakin Park takeover

Key points

• Logan City Council has voted to invite expressions of interest for the Meakin Park leases, which are currently held by Football Queensland. Mayor Jon Raven said grassroots clubs needed more access to the fields, particularly ahead of 2032.
• The leases cover the clubhouse, Fields 1 to 3 and Mappas Oval, and expire on 4 February 2029. Councillors also raised the possibility of shared management, and will seek community views before applications open.
• Football Queensland can apply alongside other eligible organisations, and has been told its current leases remain unchanged.
