Regional Infrastructure Plans

Regional infrastructure plans are a key element of the State Infrastructure Strategy – our 20-year infrastructure vision for Queensland.

Regional infrastructure plans will take a place-based approach to ensure regionally significant infrastructure needs are considered and prioritised.

Infrastructure is the backbone to boosting productivity, growing our economy creating jobs, improving liveability, driving innovation and building strong and resilient communities. Place-based infrastructure plans for the regions help to make this happen.

A plan for each of the seven regions will be developed in consultation with regional stakeholders. The plans will be delivered in partnership with the Department of Regional Development, Manufacturing and Water.
