Logan Motorway Tolls and Fines in Queensland

The Logan Motorway is a 28.9 kilometre toll road connecting Logan and Ipswich. It also connects with the Gateway Motorway, making it an important route for commuters, freight vehicles and people travelling across South East Queensland.

There are three Logan Motorway toll points:

Loganlea
Heathwood
Paradise Road

For an ordinary car, the current toll is $2.28 at Loganlea and $3.76 at either Heathwood or Paradise Road.

Your total cost depends on where you enter and leave the motorway. A longer journey may pass through more than one toll point.

Prices checked: 23 September 2026

All prices include GST. Video matching, Toll Invoice and Demand Notice fees may be added in some circumstances.

How much can Logan Motorway tolls cost each year?

The individual prices can look fairly small. Daily use adds up.

A commuter paying the $2.28 Loganlea toll in both directions, five days a week for 48 weeks, would pay:

$2.28 × 2 trips × 5 days × 48 weeks = $1,094.40 per year

A commuter paying the $3.76 Heathwood or Paradise Road toll under the same conditions would pay:

$3.76 × 2 trips × 5 days × 48 weeks = $1,804.80 per year

If a car is charged at all three Logan Motorway toll points in both directions, five days a week for 48 weeks, the annual cost would be:

$4,704 per year

That figure does not include any Gateway Motorway tolls, video matching fees, administration charges, fuel, registration or vehicle expenses.

Can one Logan Motorway trip include several tolls?

Yes.

The Logan Motorway does not have one single price covering the entire road. Charges are applied according to the toll points your vehicle passes.

Depending on the route, a journey may involve:

Only the Loganlea toll
Only the Heathwood toll
Only the Paradise Road toll
Two Logan Motorway toll points
Three Logan Motorway toll points
Logan Motorway tolls followed by a Gateway Motorway toll

This is why the cost shown in a navigation app may be higher than one individual toll price.

Where does the Logan Motorway go?

The Logan Motorway provides a major east to west connection between Logan and Ipswich.

Entry and exit areas include:

Ipswich Motorway
Formation Street
Boundary Road
Centenary Motorway
Stapylton Road
Paradise Road
Beaudesert Road
Gateway Motorway
Wembley Road
Kingston Road
Loganlea Road
Drews Road
Pacific Motorway

The toll charged depends on which toll points are passed between entry and exit.

What vehicle class applies?

Queensland toll prices are based on four vehicle classes.

Class 1: Motorcycles

This generally includes two-wheeled or three-wheeled motor vehicles, including motorcycles with a sidecar or trailer.

Class 2: Cars

This includes ordinary passenger vehicles and taxis.

A standard car towing a caravan or trailer generally remains a Class 2 vehicle.

Class 3: Light commercial vehicles

This generally covers registered commercial vehicles such as certain two-axle rigid trucks, load-carrying vans and utilities with a gross vehicle mass above 1.5 tonnes and no more than 4.5 tonnes.

Class 4: Heavy commercial vehicles

This category includes larger trucks, articulated trucks, buses and certain vehicles with three or more axles or a gross vehicle mass above 4.5 tonnes.

Check the vehicle details carefully if you believe you have been charged under the wrong class.

How are Logan Motorway tolls collected?

The Logan Motorway uses electronic free-flow tolling.

There are no cash booths where drivers can stop and pay.

Payment can be made using:

A toll account
An electronic tag
A tagless account
A Queensland road pass
Payment for a recent trip
Payment of a Toll Invoice after it is issued

If a valid tag is not detected, cameras record the vehicle’s number plate.

The trip may then be matched to the vehicle registration and a Video Matching Fee may be added.

What if I used the Logan Motorway without an account?

If you know you travelled on the Logan Motorway without a valid account or pass, deal with it early.

Linkt currently allows eligible recent trips to be covered for up to nine days after travel.

You can check and pay for recent travel through the official Linkt payment page.

Do not rely on links in unexpected text messages. Toll scams often claim that a small payment is overdue and direct people to fake websites.

Open the Linkt website directly or use its official app.

Additional Logan Motorway toll fees

The current additional charges include:

Video Matching Fee: $0.55 per toll point
Toll Invoice Fee: $10.81
Demand Notice Fee: $30.28
Requested paper statement: $2.75
Direct debit return fee: $1.10
Tag non-return fee: $15.00

Linkt also currently lists an overdue interest charge of 1.25 per cent, calculated on an overdue balance 31 days after its due date.

The Video Matching Fee is especially important on the Logan Motorway because it can be charged at each toll point when a valid tag is not detected.

A journey passing several toll points may therefore attract several video matching charges.

What happens if a Logan Motorway toll is not paid?

People often describe every toll-related document as a fine.

That can create confusion because an unpaid trip, Toll Invoice, Demand Notice, government infringement and SPER enforcement order are different documents.

The stage your matter has reached determines who you need to contact and what options remain available.

Stage 1: Unpaid Logan Motorway trip

The first amount is the original road toll.

If your vehicle travelled without a valid tag, account or pass, a Video Matching Fee may also be added.

At this point, the matter is generally still being handled through Linkt.

Paying or covering the recent trip promptly can prevent further administration charges.

Stage 2: Toll Invoice

If the trip remains unpaid, Linkt may issue a Toll Invoice to the registered operator of the vehicle.

The current Toll Invoice Fee is $10.81.

Before paying, check:

The registration number
The vehicle description
The journey date and time
The toll point
The vehicle class
The amount charged
The payment deadline

If the trip belongs to you and the details are correct, this is usually the cheapest formal notice stage at which to resolve it.

Stage 3: Demand Notice

If the Toll Invoice remains unresolved, a Demand Notice may follow.

The current Demand Notice Fee is $30.28.

A Demand Notice should not be treated as an ordinary reminder.

Under Queensland’s Transport Infrastructure Act 1994, the person receiving the notice may be required to act within the stated period by:

Paying the deferred toll amount
Providing information showing that they were not the driver
Giving reasonable help to identify the person who was driving

The notice may allow this information to be provided through an online nomination facility or by statutory declaration.

Follow the instructions on the actual notice. Keep a copy of anything you submit.

Failure to respond to a Demand Notice can lead to a government infringement.

Stage 4: Penalty Infringement Notice

A Penalty Infringement Notice may be issued when a person allegedly fails to comply with a Demand Notice.

This is an important legal distinction.

The infringement is not simply the original $2.28 or $3.76 toll becoming a fine. The alleged offence concerns the failure to comply with the Demand Notice.

A person who receives an infringement notice generally has 28 days from its issue date to take action.

Depending on the circumstances, available options may include:

Paying the infringement
Setting up an eligible payment plan
Nominating another responsible driver
Querying the infringement
Electing to have the matter heard in court

Read the notice carefully before choosing an option.

Stage 5: SPER

An ordinary unpaid Linkt toll does not normally go directly to SPER.

The usual path involves a Demand Notice, followed by an infringement notice for an alleged failure to comply.

If no action is taken on the infringement within 28 days, it may be registered with the State Penalties Enforcement Registry.

SPER will then issue an enforcement order and add a registration fee.

If the enforcement order is also ignored, further enforcement action and additional fees may follow.

SPER collects unpaid fines and penalties. It does not issue the original infringement.

Can I nominate another driver?

If you were the registered operator but another person was driving, the notice may provide a process for identifying or nominating that driver.

The correct process depends on the document.

If you have a Linkt Demand Notice, use the nomination or information process shown on that notice.

If you have a government infringement notice, use the Queensland fine-transfer process.

Do not assume that telling Linkt informally is enough. Use the required form or online service and retain confirmation that it was submitted.

Providing false information in a nomination or statutory declaration can have serious consequences.

What if the Logan Motorway charge is wrong?

Check the entire notice.

Possible issues can include:

An incorrectly read number plate
The wrong vehicle class
A tag not being detected
A trip being charged to the wrong account
A vehicle that had already been sold
Another person driving
Duplicate charges
An incorrect date or toll point
Payment not being properly matched
Notices being sent to an old registration address

Keep any evidence that could help explain what happened.

This may include:

Payment receipts
Toll-account statements
Registration documents
Sale or transfer records
Work records
Travel records
Screenshots
Copies of forms
Email correspondence
Contact reference numbers

Contact the organisation named on the document. Depending on the stage, that may be Linkt, Queensland Revenue Office, the Department of Transport and Main Roads or SPER.

What if I never received the earlier notices?

Toll and infringement correspondence may be sent to the address recorded against the vehicle’s registration.

If that address is wrong or outdated, you may not see the documents when they are first issued.

That does not necessarily stop the matter from progressing.

Check that your registration address is current and ask the relevant organisation for copies of any notices you did not receive.

Keep a record of when you became aware of the matter and what you did after discovering it.

Can I dispute a Logan Motorway toll fine?

It depends on the document.

For a Linkt Toll Invoice or Demand Notice, contact Linkt and follow the review, payment or nomination directions printed on the notice.

For a Queensland infringement notice, options may include querying the infringement, transferring it or electing to have the allegation heard in court.

For a debt already registered with SPER, contact SPER about the enforcement order and available payment or review processes.

Choosing a court hearing can involve legal and financial risks. Consider getting independent legal advice before making that choice.

What if I cannot afford the toll or fine?

Do not ignore it.

Contact the organisation handling the matter before the deadline.

Depending on the stage, possible assistance may include:

Linkt Assist
Extra time to pay
A payment arrangement
A Queensland fine payment plan
SPER payment options
Hardship support
Work and Development Orders for eligible SPER customers

Not every option is available at every stage. Asking early usually gives you more room to deal with the problem.

Check whether the tag is working
Review toll statements regularly

Save receipts and reference numbers
Use official websites rather than payment links in unexpected messages

Why Logan Motorway tolls matter

The Logan Motorway is heavily used by workers, freight operators and families travelling between Logan, Ipswich and surrounding areas.

Many people do not use it because it is some luxury road. They use it because work, family and the shape of South East Queensland leave them with few sensible alternatives.

A driver can be charged at several points during one journey. Commercial vehicles pay substantially more. If one payment fails, extra fees can quickly become larger than the original toll.

Robin Hood Tech believes people should be able to ask plain questions:

What was this road built to cost?
How much has already been collected?
Why do the prices keep increasing?
How long will people continue paying?
Why can an unpaid road charge progress into a government infringement?
Are the fees and enforcement response proportionate to the original amount?

Roads need funding. That does not place tolling arrangements beyond scrutiny.

Can an unpaid Logan Motorway toll go to SPER?

It can eventually lead to a SPER debt, but it does not normally go there directly.
