Regional infrastructure plans

The Queensland Government is committed to delivering 13 new regional plans, with supporting infrastructure plans, across every corner of the state as part of the commitment to deliver one million homes by 2044.

Each regional plan will include an infrastructure plan as an appendix. Incorporating infrastructure plans into regional plans gives them statutory weight, improves integration between land-use and infrastructure planning, and ensures updates occur through statutory regional plan review cycles.

Infrastructure is essential to productivity, economic growth, job creation, and community resilience. Embedding infrastructure planning within the statutory regional planning framework strengthens coordination across government and ensures infrastructure plans support regional development.

Regional infrastructure plans identify regionally significant infrastructure needs that support growth, protect the lifestyle of local communities and strengthens partnerships with local governments.

The infrastructure plan advances infrastructure state interests and support the Queensland Government’s housing and economic growth priorities. Each plan will maintain a place-based approach, focusing on transformative infrastructure relevant to each region. It is developed through engagement with local governments, key regional stakeholders and state agencies. It includes infrastructure policy outcomes and future planning considerations to guide how infrastructure supports long-term regional growth.

This approach replaces the former standalone regional infrastructure plan structure and aligns regional land-use planning with regional infrastructure priorities under a single statutory framework.

Infrastructure planning will follow the regional planning area boundaries.
