Community Renewal in Marsden/Crestmead
Community Renewal began in Marsden/Crestmead on 1 July 2004. Marsden/Crestmead joined the renewal areas of Loganlea, Kingston and Woodridge to form the Logan renewal zone. Renewal activities will occur across the Logan zone until 30 June 2009.
What’s happening now
Residents, government, community and business are working together to develop a Renewal Zone Plan, which will be a blueprint for Community Renewal activities in the Logan zone.

About Marsden/Crestmead
The Logan area was originally inhabited by Indigenous peoples from the Yugambeh and Jaggera language groups. Originally part of Kingston, the Marsden area was advertised for sale as ‘Kingston Park’ in 1944. The new subdivision was named after the treasurer of the local progress association, Violet Marsden. Early industries included fruit, macadamias and tobacco. The pace of urban development increased during the 1970s and 1980s and an industrial estate opened in 1983. Originally part of Marsden, Crestmead was created as a new suburb in May 1986 and gazetted the following year.
Australian Bureau of Statistics 2001 Census figures show the Marsden renewal area has a population of 13,131 with 3,401 families. Over one third (31.6 percent) are aged under 15 and 26.02 percent were born overseas. About 9.8 percent speak languages other than English and the Indigenous population is three percent.
