South East Queensland Infrastructure Plan

The Queensland Government has made a government election commitment to develop new regional plans that cover every corner of the state in conjunction with infrastructure plans that protect the lifestyle of our communities and appropriately cater for growth, in partnership with local governments.

Currently, the Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning are reviewing the South East Queensland (SEQ) Regional Plan to respond to changes in legislation and policy as well as significant population growth and development in the SEQ region. This review will include infrastructure planning and priorities.

South East Queensland Infrastructure Supplement

A South East Queensland Infrastructure Supplement (SEQIS) was released to support the current regional plan, ShapingSEQ 2023.

SEQIS is a plan for coordinating regional infrastructure that catalyses and services the growth and housing supply of the South East Queensland (SEQ) region. It also maximises the opportunity of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games (Brisbane 2032) infrastructure.

The SEQ region encompasses the 12 local government areas of Brisbane, Gold Coast, Ipswich, Lockyer Valley, Logan, Moreton Bay, Noosa, Redland, Scenic Rim, Somerset, Sunshine Coast and Toowoomba (urban extent).

Infrastructure planning drivers and challenges for the region

SEQIS identifies three key drivers of change in the region:

  1. Maximising the Brisbane 2032 opportunity
  2. Supporting a transforming economy
  3. Creating connected and accessible centres.

SEQIS also identified three regional growth challenges:

  1. Regional pipeline capacity challenges
  2. Coordinating capital programming to support growth
  3. Servicing increasing density.
