About Us

The Logan Village Community Centre was originally established by the Beaudesert Shire Council to provide meeting places, services and activities for the residents of Logan Village and surrounds.  Now a part of Logan City, and still managed by the residents of Logan Village, the Community Centre continues with its original purpose of providing a central hub for those living in the local area.

Meeting Spaces
The Logan Village Community Centre has three meeting spaces that are available for rental on a casual or part-time basis.

Col Ferguson Cottage

Originally situated on the corner of Wharf and Albert Streets, this old cottage has been named after one of Logan Village’s blacksmiths.  The cottage was probably built around 1886 by the then joint owners – August Holzheimer, John Holzheimer and John Poots, who took possession of the land on the 12^th of June 1886.

Col Ferguson Cottage is now the regular meeting place for the Logan Village Community Centre, Logan Village Friends of the Library, Alcoholics Anonymous, Gideons International and the Logan Village Christian Family.

The Old School Building

This two story building is now the regular meeting place for the Logan Village Christian Family and their Youth Adventure Group, Logan Village Playgroup, Logan and Beaudesert Country Music Club and the Logan and Beaudesert Bushwalkers.

The Old School building was completed and opened on 19^th September 1900 to replace the existing school building, which became the Headmaster’s residence, and currently houses the local library (pictured below).  The school building was taken over by the Beaudesert Shire Council in 1981 and raised to accommodate the further use by groups and citizens in the area, effectively creating two meeting areas in the one building.

Community Groups

Museum and Local History Centre

The Logan Village Museum and Local History Centre is situated on the western side of the complex fronting River Street.  It features wonderful displays of local artefacts, maps, photographs and historical information.

Logan Village Community Craft Cottage

The Logan Village Community Craft Cottage is housed in the Doo Dropp Inn building, which was once the residence of an early Vicar and originally situated on River Road.  Now a quaint local arts and crafts shop, it is open most days and new members are always welcome.

Logan Village Craft Group

The Logan Village Craft Group is made up of local ladies who meet on a regular basis to socialise and make art and craft items to donate to the wider community.  Their projects include items such as knitted trauma bears for children requiring treatment at the local blood collection centre, beanies for premature babies and other knitted items for local nursing homes.  The Craft Group is open to all members of the community and enjoy having new faces come along to join in the fun.

 

Outdoor Activities

The Community Centre complex has a multipurpose court and a popular and highly regarded skate park that is regularly utilised by young people and families from the local and outlying areas.  Both of these facilities are provided free of charge.

Also popular in the complex are the two children’s playgrounds adjacent to the covered picnic area and free electric barbeques.

 

 

The Village Green

The Village Green has been established as an open area able to be used for fairs and functions as well as a quiet place for walks and picnics.  The area has been designed to complement the BBQ and play facilities around the Community Centre while still providing its own area for community recreation.

The Village Green is home to the annual Logan Village Australia Day Celebrations, Friends of the Library Open Days, Carols by Candlelight, Country Muster, Ladies Day of Elegance High Tea, Halloween Celebration, Movies in the Park, Greatest Morning Tea for Cancer research and occasional markets as well as other casual community events and activities.

Craft Cottage Christmas Party

There was an abundance of Christmas cheer this year as our group of 25 people sat down to a delicious lunch at the Logan Village Pub.  We also played a few Christmas inspired games, cracked bon bons and exchanged Secret Santa gifts!

We are a very friendly group who are always on the lookout for new members to join us.  If you live locally, have a passion for arts and crafts, and a couple of days a month to spare, this might be the group for you!  Pop in for a chat one week day.  We are located in Doo Dropp Inn Cottage, Wharf Street, Logan Village, Queensland.

The Logan Village Community Craft Cottage is a sub-committee of the Logan Village Community Centre.

Ladies Day of Elegance

The Logan Village Community Craft Cottage held it's annual Ladies' Day of Elegance on Thursday the 8th of September 2011.  It was a wonderful day for women from various local community organisations to meet together in a social setting.  They enjoyed a lovely high tea, viewed a display organised by the Logan Village Historical Museum on women of the area and had the opportunity to browse and purchase from the on site craft shop.

Masterpieces

The ladies have very successfully completed their folk art basics course and each produced a wonderful painting of Australian native flowers.  Hopefully we'll manage to squeeze in a few more craft classes before the end of the year, so if you're a local and interested in learning a new technique, come down to the Logan Village Community Craft Cottage and talk to one of our very friendly volunteers!
