State Infrastructure Plan

Recommendations

Info

Digital Secure, reliable and cost-effective digital infrastructure is a fundamental enabler of social and economic development in the digital age. It connects communities and markets, and provides the opportunity for people to improve their livelihoods and lifestyles. The emergence of the digital economy offers exciting opportunities for all Queenslanders to benefit from improved government services and innovation, and productivity gains across the economy. While telecommunication networks are regulated by the Australian Government and delivered largely by the private sector, the Queensland Government plays a vital role in ensuring the state has access to world-class digital infrastructure. This is fundamental to achieving the government’s Advance Queensland vision to create the knowledge-based jobs of the future and build a strong innovation and entrepreneurial culture. Governments at all levels are increasingly using a ‘digital first’ approach to the design and delivery of future infrastructure and services. In a decentralised state like Queensland, there is enormous potential to improve service delivery by optimising the use of existing technology. Initiatives such as the One-Stop-Shop approach will provide Queenslanders with simple, consistent access to a host of government services, regardless of where they live. The state is also leveraging the potential of digital technology to transform operations across a broad range of sectors. Our public safety agencies and frontline police and emergency services personnel are benefiting from more reliable and secure communications through the rollout of the Government Wireless Network in SEQ. Opportunities to provide critical information to officers in the field are also being explored. In addition, the Queensland Government is working with providers and the Australian Government to facilitate improvements in the state’s digital infrastructure to improve communication and reduce blackspots. Government Wireless Network There are also opportunities to leverage and optimise existing and planned investments in public infrastructure including fibre, cellular, radio, microwave and wireless networks to reduce government costs. In other sectors, such as health and education, more reliable and accessible digital infrastructure is helping to improve outcomes and reduce costs. Students can access more digital learning resources and greater collaboration and communication among schools, teachers and students can be achieved. Services such as telehealth can be used to deliver more care and treatment within the home, and digital health tools can help patients better self-manage their conditions and services. Broadband services and innovation in digital, mobile and cloud technologies are also changing the nature of work. Opportunities for remote or distributed working arrangements via telecommuting or flexible work centres continue to grow. Investments in smart digital technology are also enabling consumers, government and industry to make better decisions that can reduce energy consumption, traffic congestion and impacts on the environment. DIGITAL RESPONSES The Queensland Government has developed responses to address identified challenges and guide investment across both the 1–4 year program and future opportunities. Most projects or opportunities relate to at least one response, however some will relate to more than one response. As the SIP matures, the relationship between responses and these programs will strengthen. Work with providers and the Australian Government to improve digital infrastructure. Develop infrastructure in regions that promotes digital inclusion. Use government’s purchasing power to drive digital transformations across all asset classes. 84 State Infrastructure Plan Part B: Program
