Regional infrastructure plans

The Queensland Government is committed to delivering 13 new regional plans, each with a regional infrastructure plan, to help communities grow and thrive.

Infrastructure such as transport, energy, schools and hospitals is essential to Queensland’s productivity, economic growth, job creation, and innovation. From 2026, each statutory regional plan will include an infrastructure appendix that identifies the regionally significant infrastructure needed to support growth over time.

By bringing infrastructure planning into statutory regional plans, decisions about growth and the infrastructure that supports it are made together, and are updated through regular regional plan reviews. This ensures that:

• homes, jobs and services are planned in the right locations
• infrastructure is delivered as communities grow
• local lifestyles are protected as regions change.

Regional infrastructure plans are developed through engagement with local governments, key regional stakeholders and state agencies and includes infrastructure policy outcomes and future planning considerations to guide how infrastructure supports long-term regional growth.

Infrastructure planning will follow the regional planning area boundaries.
