Queensland in the box seat for infrastructure opportunities
9th September 2021

Deputy Premier and Minister for State Development, Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning
The Honourable Dr Steven Miles

In a huge boost for economic growth and jobs, the Queensland Government has released a detailed program of its four-year $52.2 billion infrastructure spend and a draft vision for the State's infrastructure needs over the next two decades.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Infrastructure Steven Miles today announced the two major initiatives at the IAQ Infrastructure Assembly in Brisbane.

Mr Miles is encouraging Queenslanders to have their say on the draft 20-year State Infrastructure Strategy (SIS), a key part of Queensland's economic recovery.

"Queensland is in the box seat to seize the opportunities ahead of us over the next two decades," Mr Miles said.

"We've just joined the list of Olympic and Paralympic cities, our pandemic response has been world-class, our population is booming, and Queensland has the potential to become a renewables and hydrogen superpower.

"All of these achievements are possible through the right infrastructure, a critical component of Queensland's COVID-19 Economic Recovery Plan and our future prosperity.

"We already have a huge head start, with a $52.2 billion infrastructure investment that will turbo-charge more growth and jobs for Queenslanders.

"The draft State Infrastructure Strategy sets out our approach to connecting our regions and creating liveable communities with essential services and infrastructure across Queensland like the schools, hospitals and roads that our growing state will need into the future."

Mr Miles said, along with the draft State Infrastructure Strategy, the Queensland Government Infrastructure Pipeline (QGIP) was also released today.

The Pipeline includes the four-year $52.2 billion capital program and potential future proposals currently under development by the Queensland Government.

"We have a pipeline of infrastructure projects that are creating jobs and boosting our economic recovery," Mr Miles said.

"The Queensland Government Infrastructure Pipeline includes more than 1000 projects in delivery and planning, will provide industry with further confidence to invest in Queensland.

"In 2021-22, $14.7 billion – one of the largest capital programs in recent years – has been allocated, with more than 60 per cent being spent outside Greater Brisbane.

This is expected to directly support around 46,500 jobs – nearly 30,000 of these in the regions.

"Our investment will support economic growth, create jobs, ensure the provision of high-quality services, and build resilient, connected, liveable communities." Stakeholder engagement has been fundamental to shaping the draft strategy, with 13 regional workshops held across Queensland earlier in the year. These were attended by more than 270 stakeholders, in addition to more than 200 responses received through online engagement.

Further consultation and feedback will be undertaken to ensure the SIS sets out the right infrastructure priorities and reforms for Queensland.

The strategy will be supported by seven regional infrastructure plans to better reflect the unique strengths and opportunities of each region, and the important role infrastructure plays in economic recovery, resilience, growth, and liveability.

The SIS follows on from the previous State Infrastructure Plan and its annual program of updates released between 2016 and 2020.

Mentions a network wide roll out oif ETCS2.

More freight on rail

Encouraging people to cycle 5 km in each direction to and from work to reduce emissions.

Vehicle emissions have skyrocketed, up 32% in Qld over the last 15 years.

Ohhh another nice glossy brochure for us to read. Different name, same old corners to be cut no doubt. Wake me up when they start building!! 


The Queensland Government is currently replacing the State Infrastructure Plan with a new State Infrastructure Strategy (SIS) that will set the statewide priorities for infrastructure.

Yeah you are right so much unnecessary duplication.

In Qld---> Deal or no deal: SEQ's landmark 'big projects' pact falls victim to politics

Deal or no deal: SEQ's landmark 'big projects' pact falls victim to politics
POLITICS
The Palaszczuk Government has poured cold water on hopes that a landmark agreement with the federal government will drive the delivery of key transport and other public infrastructure to south-east Queensland.

[verbatim9]

^^Miles suggests that the City Deal will have minimal influence on new  infrastructure going forward

[verbatim9]

I guess he wants this strategy to be the one all fits all approach?

[SteelPan]

Can't blame em but...voters keep buying the nonsense!

Reports and petty cash for MORE early phase reports are NOT delivery of already long overdue infrastructure!

Queensland Parliament Hansard

Questions Without Notice

Infrastructure Projects

Mr BROWN: My question is of the Deputy Premier and the Minister for State Development,
Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning. Can the Deputy Premier update the House on how the
Palaszczuk government is using infrastructure projects to boost our economic recovery from the
pandemic, and is he aware of any alternative approaches?

Dr MILES: I thank the member for Capalaba for his question. I know he appreciates just how
important our infrastructure spend is for supporting jobs right around the state, including in the beautiful
Redlands region, as well as for supporting productivity and liveability in our communities into the future.
Last week I was pleased to be able to detail the Palaszczuk government's $52.2 billion program, our
pipeline over the next four years—well above our $50 billion infrastructure guarantee that the Treasurer
outlined in our economic recovery plan—as well as our draft vision for the infrastructure needs of our
state for the next two decades.

I addressed the Infrastructure Association of Queensland's Infrastructure Assembly where the
Palaszczuk government released the Queensland Government Infrastructure Pipeline as well as a draft
of the new State Infrastructure Strategy. I would urge all members and all Queenslanders to have their
say on the new State Infrastructure Strategy. It is a 20-year vision of how we can build back better from
the pandemic and achieve so much. If people think about what will happen in our state over the next
20 years, we have already joined the ranks of Olympic and Paralympic cities and through the life of the
State Infrastructure Strategy we will deliver those games. We anticipate our population boom will
continue and we will become a renewables and hydrogen superpower not just generating that energy,
but storing it and manufacturing the supply chain needed for that growing industry right around the
world. To harness those opportunities, we need to make sure we build the right infrastructure in the
right places at the right time. If we get it right, we can lock in decades of prosperity to our state.
In the $52.8 billion pipeline there is more than a thousand projects including $14.7 billion this
year alone, 60 per cent of it outside of Brisbane in the regions.

We are only able to continue with this level of infrastructure investment supporting jobs across the state
because of our strong health response.

If we were in New South Wales or Victoria, where they have been unable to keep the virus
out for so long, we would be unable to leverage this incredible platform to plan for the future to create
jobs right across the state and to build the infrastructure that our state will need for decades to come.
