State Infrastructure Plan

Recommendations

Info

Government commitments State Infrastructure Fund To provide an immediate boost to infrastructure investment and increase business confidence, a State Infrastructure Fund (SIF) with an initial investment of $500 million will be established. This will support the implementation of the SIP and further demonstrates this government’s commitment to planning and delivering infrastructure. This new fund will focus on infrastructure projects that will enhance productivity, support jobs and are ready to be brought to market quickly, so that we continue to underpin productivity and jobs growth in Queensland. New programs being established under the SIF are: Maturing the Infrastructure Pipeline Program, $20 million—aimed at fast tracking early stages of the infrastructure project pipeline by developing strategic assessments and preliminary evaluations for projects identified through SIP consultation. This will initially target those projects highlighted in the proposals raised through consultation outlined in Part B. Priority Economic Works and Productivity Program, $300 million—targeting productivity lifting and capacity improving infrastructure. This supports a range of themes in Part A including infrastructure that connects our communities and markets, and better use of existing assets. Accelerated Works Program The Queensland Government understands how important job security and new jobs are to support communities across Queensland. In the 12 months to end of January 2016, more than 71,000 new jobs were created in Queensland, with the state government’s $10.1 billion capital works program supporting 27,500 jobs. However, some parts of Queensland are experiencing subdued economic conditions due to a number of factors. In response, the state government has outlined an Accelerated Works Program (AWP) to maintain local economies and bring forward employment opportunities while other jobs or industries emerge. Significant Regional Infrastructure Projects Program, $180 million—significant infrastructure projects in key regional centres that respond to a community need or provide increased economic opportunities. This also supports a range of themes in Part A including infrastructure that leads and supports growth. Initial projects to be funded through the Priority Economic Works and Productivity Program include: Ipswich Motorway (Rocklea to Darra)—Stage 1 Pacific Motorway–Gateway Motorway Merge Upgrade (southbound lanes) North Coast Line Capacity Improvement Project Dawson Highway (Gladstone–Biloela)—timber bridge replacement package Rockhampton Road Train Access—Stage 1 Kawana Way and Nicklin Way—Sunshine Coast University Hospital intersection upgrades package Riverway Drive duplication (Gollogly Lane– Allambie Lane). The AWP will fast-track jobs and economic activity by getting projects underway sooner. These projects are part of government’s commitment to drive the economy and sustain and create new jobs in regional Queensland. The Queensland Government has announced the acceleration of more than $440 million in projects supporting more than 950 jobs. The AWP has initially been targeted at Northern Queensland, but will also be extended to other regions. Selected AWP projects are shown in the following tables. 6 State Infrastructure Plan Part B: Program
