Logan City includes established suburbs such as Woodridge and Loganholme, where a large proportion of housing stock was built before asbestos was phased out. Many of these properties are long term investment homes and rentals, constructed using fibro wall sheeting, eaves, ceilings, and wet area linings. Asbestos was widely used for durability and low cost, making it common in properties that have seen minimal upgrades over decades. When maintenance is delayed or carried out without testing, asbestos can be disturbed during simple repairs.

Rental compliance is a major issue across Logan City. Properties often change tenants, undergo minor refurbishments, or require urgent maintenance between leases. Activities such as replacing damaged walls, updating bathrooms, or repairing fences can disturb asbestos materials. Landlords and property managers carry legal responsibility to manage these risks and protect tenants and trades. Independent identification and documentation help reduce liability and support safe, compliant property management.
