1Introduction
Infrastructure underpins a prosperous economy and
modern society. The challenge for governments is
planning, funding and delivering infrastructure for
growth and change in a future that isn’t certain.
With greater demand on their
revenue, governments are
exploring innovative funding
approaches, optimising their
capital and forging strategic
partnerships.
Infrastructure can increase
productivity through the
efficient delivery of services
like supplying water or energy,
or transporting people and
products. Infrastructure can
also improve community
outcomes through the delivery
of better hospitals, schools and
community safety facilities.
When planning for our future
it’s important our focus is on
these services and the needs and
expectations of Queenslanders.
For three years, Queensland
has been without an integrated
state-wide infrastructure plan to
help industry plan for skills and
workforce needs and to guide
infrastructure investment.

Government will fill this void by
delivering a State Infrastructure

• Develop a sustainable

Queensland and input from
government agencies
• Provide context to enable
greater coordination
between public and private.
3What is the State
Infrastructure
Plan?
The State Infrastructure Plan will provide a
coordinated and integrated approach to infrastructure
planning, prioritisation, funding and delivery. This
will be achieved by engaging with key stakeholders
across government, industry and the community,
and prioritising Queensland’s infrastructure needs
from a whole-of-government perspective. While the
pipeline will focus on public infrastructure and provide
guidance about the government’s infrastructure needs,
it is also expected that it will highlight opportunities
for the private sector to engage with government on
finding creative solutions for infrastructure delivery
and in doing so, help generate confidence.
Based on robust planning and value for
money, the plan will ensure better use of
existing assets and better allocation of
new investment.

emerging drivers of change. A snapshot of some of this commentary is provided below.

objectives
The Queensland Government will deliver a better way for Queensland, creating jobs and
a diverse economy, delivering quality frontline services, protecting our environment,
and building safe, caring and connected communities. Accepting that infrastructure is a
fundamental building block for our society, we need to agree on what we want out of our
infrastructure investment if we are to put ourselves on the right course.
The following infrastructure objectives strive to articulate why infrastructure is important
to our values and improving our way of life. These objectives will be aligned with community
expectations through consultation and will then guide the Queensland Government’s
infrastructure priorities over the coming decades.
