Central and Western 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.
Central and Western Queensland is a diverse region that stretches from Rockhampton, Gladstone and Yeppoon in the east to the remote outback communities of Birdsville, Bedourie and Boulia along the western border. The region includes the local governments of Banana, Barcaldine, Barcoo, Blackall-Tambo, Boulia, Central Highlands, Diamantina, Gladstone, Livingstone, Longreach, Rockhampton, Winton and Woorabinda.
The Central and Western Queensland Infrastructure Plan (CWQIP) identified strategic regional priorities and articulated the region’s economic advantages.
