One of southeast Queensland's fastest-growing regions has been overlooked as the state plans for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic games, a local mayor says.
Logan, just south of Brisbane, is "one of the largest and fastest growing cities in Australia", the city's website says.
But its mayor Darren Power says Logan is being overlooked and was unsuccessful in a previous bid for Games infrastructure, with a slalom whitewater course and a boxing venue not progressing.
""With an expected half a million residents by 2032, delivering critical infrastructure to meet community need seems like a winner to me," he said on Wednesday.
The city's location between the "major Olympic zones of Brisbane and the Gold Coast" makes it well placed to leverage infrastructure investment, Cr Power said.
"Council is preparing a business case to outline the existing need, potential uses for the 2032 Olympics and how the space will be activated after," he said.
"There is no reason Logan cannot host a major event and Council will now progress a detailed investigation for a venue as part of a business case to unlock the Olympic potential in our city."
Cr Power's comments come as the state government outlines plans for a committee to ensure planning for the Games has a view to the future.
"Our focus has never been on a few weeks of competition," Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said.
"It must be on the decades' worth of investment that will set Queensland up for the next 20 years."
The Legacy Committee will have 12 members and all Queenslanders over the age of 18 are encouraged to apply.
A special youth adviser aged 16 will also be appointed.
