• The precinct supports business growth and productivity in South East Queensland by delivering increased access to rail freight transportation along the north-south corridor outside the metropolitan centre.

Infrastructure matters for new PDAs are outlined in the format of a Development Charges and Offset Plan (DCOP).

Planning, funding and timely delivery of trunk infrastructure and implementation programs is key to progressing development in Priority Development Areas (PDAs).

Trunk infrastructure is the high-level, shared infrastructure that services large catchments in PDAs. It includes:

• transport (e.g. roads, pathways, ferry terminals and bus stops)
• stormwater (e.g. pipes and water quality treatment devices)
• water supply and wastewater (e.g. reservoirs, pipes and sewage treatment plants)
• public parks (e.g. parks and sporting facilities)
• land for community facilities (e.g. land for libraries and community centres)
• other infrastructure depending on the PDA.

Charges and terms for infrastructure in PDAs

Fragmented land ownership in PDAs and the significant cost of trunk infrastructure means it may not be feasible for any one developer, land owner or government entity to fund the trunk infrastructure required to service the PDA.

Infrastructure charges provide for the cost of trunk infrastructure to be shared between the users of the infrastructure.

The Minister for Economic Development Queensland (MEDQ) may fix charges and terms for trunk infrastructure in PDAs, under the Act. The MEDQ may also fix charges which are used to support economic and community development within PDAs.

Infrastructure charges for PDAs are set in either:

• the Infrastructure Charging Offset Plan (ICOP)
• the Development Charges and Offset Plan (DCOP)
• the Infrastructure Funding Framework (IFF).

Infrastructure Funding Framework and supporting policies

The Infrastructure Funding Framework (IFF) and its supporting policies set development charges for identified PDA infrastructure. This ensures new development contributes fairly towards the shared costs.

The current Infrastructure Funding Framework ( 937 KB) took effect on 1 July 2019.

The IFF should be read in conjunction with the following policies:

• The relevant PDA development scheme infrastructure plan (each development scheme includes an Infrastructure Plan).
• The Infrastructure Funding Framework Crediting and Offset Arrangement (IFFCOA) ( 972 KB) for greenfield PDAs only (Greater Flagstone, Yarrabilba, Ripley Valley and Caloundra South PDAs).
• Applicable Infrastructure Charging and Offset Plan (ICOP) for the following PDAs:
  • Greater Flagstone PDA ICOP
  • Ripley Valley PDA ICOP

Development charges and offset plans

Infrastructure matters for new PDAs are outlined in the format of a Development Charges and Offset Plan (DCOP).

A DCOP incorporates infrastructure charges, infrastructure planning and offsets processes into one document for each PDA.

Where a DCOP applies to a PDA, the DCOP prevails over the Infrastructure Funding Framework (IFF) and its supporting documents.

Currently, DCOPs apply to these PDAs:

• Bowen Hills PDA
• Herston Quarter PDA
• The Mill at Moreton Bay PDA DCOP
• Queen’s Wharf Brisbane PDA ICOP (equivalent to a DCOP)
• Townsville City Waterfront PDA ICOP (equivalent to a DCOP)

Infrastructure charges and offsets register

The Planning (Infrastructure Charges Register and Other Matters) Amendment Regulation 2019 (QLD) was passed in October 2019. It outlines requirements for local governments to publish charges and offsets within their local government areas.

As part of our dedication to transparency and accountability, EDQ is publishing its own register of infrastructure charges and offsets collected in Priority Development Areas administered by EDQ.

• Download the infrastructure charges and offsets register ( 90 KB)

You can filter the register to customise your view. Use our register to see:

• infrastructure charges collected for EDQ-administered PDAs
• offsets approved and allocated to an infrastructure charge notice.

For delegated PDAs, contact the appropriate assessment authority for information on charges collected and offset.

The following PDAs have infrastructure agreements that partly or entirely override the requirement to pay infrastructure charges. Charges collected in these areas may differ to the charges indicated in the applicable charging instrument.

• Caloundra South
• Yarrabilba
• Greater Flagstone
• Maroochydore

Apply to claim an infrastructure offset

To claim either a provisional or a final infrastructure offset use the online form. Please refer to the application checklist before completing the online form.

The Maturing the Infrastructure Pipeline Program (MIPP) is a $30 million infrastructure planning program that supports the development of a robust project pipeline by enabling projects to be matured from conceptually good ideas into solid proposals.

The MIPP is being delivered in two phases of work.

MIPP 1

Phase 1 involved:

• Rapid assessment of all proposals raised through consultation and future opportunities from the 2016 State Infrastructure Plan. These reports have all been completed.
• Early stage assessments of 40 new infrastructure proposals submitted by 22 local governments – currently underway.

MIPP 2

Phase two of MIPP involved a competitive grant program open to all Local Governments. Submissions have been assessed and funds have been allocated to 70 projects across 67 Local Governments. These grants fund activities across two broad categories:

• strategic planning for infrastructure – funding studies and investigations that will assist local governments to form a strategic view of their key infrastructure priorities and needs
• business cases and/or detailed designs for the development of local government infrastructure proposals to provide better clarity on investment decisions.

The MIPP is an infrastructure planning program and does not commit the Queensland Government to progress or fund further planning or to provide funding for the delivery of projects.

Queensland’s beautiful coastline and world-class marine environments are the envy of the world, and one of our state’s leading tourism attractions. These advantages, along with our skilled workforce and excellent marine infrastructure, make us a prime location for superyacht activity.

The Queensland Superyacht Strategy 2018-23 ( 2 MB) sets out our support for growing this high-value industry.

The Superyacht Strategy envisions that by 2023 Queensland’s share of the global superyacht sector will have increased by 10% and that Queensland will be recognised as the key superyacht hub in the Asia Pacific region. This growth would create thousands of new highly-skilled jobs across the state and contribute hundreds of millions of dollars to our state’s economy.

The strategy sets out four priority action areas:

• supportive, clear and well-communicated policy
• promote infrastructure to facilitate industry growth
• promote Queensland as a global superyacht destination
• support and develop Queensland’s superyacht supply chain.

What is a superyacht?

In Australia, superyachts are luxury vessels with a master and crew, carrying 12 guests or fewer (not including staff) and with a minimum length of 24 metres. Superyachts do not carry cargo.

The superyacht industry encompasses leisure and charter vessels and their global supply chains.

Superyacht Industry Development Fund

The Superyacht Industry Development Fund offers support to small and medium businesses supplying to, or with the potential to supply to, the superyacht industry. One round will run each year, with applications assessed competitively.

Small-to-medium enterprises interested in accessing the superyacht industry can receive matched funding of up to $19,000 per year. These funds go toward industry certifications, attending international trade shows and bringing international delegations to Queensland to promote their capabilities.

Funding recipients to date:

• Gold Coast City Marina and Shipyard (Coomera)
• Rivergate Marina and Shipyard (Murrarie)
• Abell Point Marina (Airlie Beach)
• Seaspec Marine Services (Coomera)
• Trinity Fire Services (Cairns)
• Carter Marine Agencies (Cairns)

The Royalties for the Regions program ran over four years from 2012–13 to 2015–16 and provided support for infrastructure projects that addressed identified local needs. The program has now closed, however work continues on delivering projects funded under the program.

The Queensland Government continues to support regional communities by replacing the Royalties for the Regions program with a regional infrastructure funding program called Building our Regions.

Four focused infrastructure initiatives make up the $445 million Building our Regions program:

• Regional Capital Fund
• Royalties for Resource Producing Communities Fund
• Remote and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communities Fund
• Transport and Infrastructure Development Scheme.

Read more about the Building our Regions program.

View the details of projects funded under Royalties for the Regions in the table below.

Royalties for the Regions projects

In 2015–16, the Queensland Government established the State Infrastructure Fund (SIF) to boost infrastructure investment, increase business confidence and to fund government priorities.

The now $2.2 billion SIF focuses on infrastructure that will enhance productivity and support jobs as well as projects that are ready to be brought to market quickly, so that we continue to underpin productivity and jobs growth in Queensland.

Some of the core allocations, which have been separately supplemented through the 2017–18 State Budget include:

• $800 million towards the delivery of Cross River Rail and a further $50 million to establish the Cross River Rail Delivery Authority. Through the 2017–18 State Budget, the government committed to fully funding the project – Read more about Cross River Rail.


• $300 million for the Priority Economic Works and Productivity Program (PEWPP).Funding has been allocated to the Department of Transport and Main Roads and Queensland Rail to deliver seven high priority transport projects.


• $180 million for the Significant Regional Infrastructure Projects Program (SRIPP). The SRIPP is delivering 25 social and economic infrastructure projects and programs that respond to a community need or provide increased economic opportunities in key regional centres across Queensland.


• $20 million for the Maturing the Infrastructure Pipeline Program (MIPP) The MIPP supports the development of a robust project pipeline by enabling projects to be matured from conceptually good ideas into solid proposals. A $10 million top-up was provided through the 2017–18 State Budget taking total government funding to $30 million.
