Overview

Slacks Creek is a suburb of Logan City in Queensland, home to 10,408 residents according to the 2021 Census. The Pacific Motorway defines most of its eastern edge, giving easy road access, while the nearby Kingston railway station (about 2.3 km away) links the area to the broader Brisbane network. The suburb takes its name from the creek that feeds the Logan River catchment, a site once held by the Slack family and known to Aboriginal peoples as Mungaree.

Educational options are plentiful, with Mabel Park State School (≈0.7 km) and Mabel Park State High School (≈0.6 km) within walking distance, and additional primary schools in neighbouring suburbs.
