The well watered land grew extensive hardwood forests from which were cut sleepers for the South Coast railway line In turn, the cleared land was good for dairying, which was stimulated by the opening of the Kingston butter factory a few kilometres to the south west.
A provisional school was opened in and an Anglican church in Being situated between the railway line and the Pacific Highway, Slacks Creek was included in the reticulated electricity grid in , a sure stimulus for residential development in the early s.
A progress association was formed in , and five years later the progress hall was opened. Mail was delivered by horse and buggy twice a week. The original Slacks Creek school was located on Loganlea Road. The Slacks Creek provisional school was subject to much local flooding and, by the end of , the school and teacher's residence were moved to a flood-free location between the Pacific Motorway and Winnetts Road where the Logan East State Emergency Service buildings now stand.
In , the school was moved to Daisy Hill Road after the ever-increasing traffic on the Pacific Highway the section now called Winnetts Road made it a less-than-ideal site for a school. A small cemetery exists beside the church. Both are on the State Heritage Register. The store was built of bricks removed from a demolition site in Brisbane and it housed the telephone exchange, post office and a general store.

I came from another area of Brisbane and I was surprised when locals said they had reservations about living in Slacks Creek because of its proximity to Logan Central.
I think it's just and old way of thinking that is slowly disappearing. A lot of tradies here too, and they love to renovate. Im looking to buy here and from all accounts its great!!!!! As i live close by i have had my eye on this area for sometime plus its affordable to.
Slacks Creek is a great suburb with very friendly down to earth people. The area has a number of parks, playgounds and great walking tracks for those who love the outdoors or who exercise pets. I have been living in the area for more than 4 years and have never experienced any crime or trouble with neighbours.
The area is currently receiving a face lift, with a new bus way and a park and ride in construction. This is definately a surburb not to overlook or underestimate. Im going to add my general opinion on the "current" state of Slacks Creek, according to recent logan property charts Slacks Creek is in the top 5 of "most likely to experience high growth" suburbs. Some investors are purchasing property in the area as there is "steady" growth in regards to "capital gains".
In my overall opinion I think the area is doing much better than recent times and will continue to grow according to the "current" property trends. However keep a close eye also on Springwood and Daisy Hill as they are high contenders of Slacks Creek. Harry Jones. Hello everyone, I just wanted to express my opinion of Slacks Creek, I have lived there in the past and am very familiar with Logan City suburbs.
Slacks Creek has been an area which in the past has been known for crime however I never came accross this when I was living there and the odd hoons doing burn outs up kingston road.
I must admit the area has definately experienced considerable growth over past phew years though, there seems to be more good coming in and the bad being pushed out. I have friends in Slacks Creek and when I visit the area it seems alot quiter and there are a lot more renevated houses these days.
There also appears to be more families and kids playing on the streets then I remember. The general locan city property charts are expecting Slacks Creek to be one of the higher growing areas due to its location being in the middle of everything.
