The Australian Labor Party is set to form government for the first time since 2013, and on the campaign trail its candidates have promised considerable investment at a local level.
In the greater Logan area the ALP has promised over $27 million of investment for projects such as the widening of Loganlea Road and the installation of new CCTV safety cameras.
The promised funds also include $840000 for a proposed youth centre in Logan Central which will be jointly-funded by the state and federal governments as well as Logan City Council.
Logan City Council said the proposed centre will "focus on creating a dynamic space for all cultures to meet, celebrate and access key services" based on feedback from local young people.
This facility is still in its early planning stages, and the council says it expects to conduct design works in the 2022/2023 financial year.
The Rankin MP said this was an important investment as a large proportion of the area is aged between 15 and 24 years old.
"We want to create more opportunities for our young people in our community," Dr Chalmers said.
"We need to have places for them to go so that they can spend time with each other, learn valuable skills, and get help when they need it."
Dr Chalmers has also promised that the ALP would build a new bulk-billing urgent care clinic near the Logan Hospital.
We want to make health care more accessible to more people, not less accessible and more expensive," he said.
Local sports clubs are also set to benefit, with $250000 pledged by the ALP to the Park Ridge Pirates AFL club, matching a $250000 investment from the state government.
Dr Chalmers has also committed his support to the previous government's Stage 3 tax cuts, which is estimated to cost the federal budget $180 billion.
Previously speaking with the Jimboomba Times, Dr Chalmers said it may take some time for the ALP to prioritise and meet all its funding commitments.
"You have to weigh up all of the various ideas that are put forward ... to try and work out your priorities," he said.
"We can't undo all the damage that's been done over the last decade in one year or even one term of a Labor government."
