The Department of Infrastructure and Planning works across Queensland to ensure planning and infrastructure essential to our state’s prosperous future are developed and delivered.

The Queensland Government has brought planning functions together into one department to lead local, regional and statewide planning initiatives and has embarked on the largest infrastructure program in the state’s history.

In a period of rapid economic and social growth there are challenges. There is strong demand for major infrastructure and for the coordination of regional and urban growth. We are looking forward and delivering now - working for growth, sustainability and prosperity for all Queenslanders.

Our priorities:

• plan, coordinate and deliver key infrastructure for economic, environmental and social development in Queensland
• collaboratively plan sustainable and dynamic urban and regional communities
• facilitate major private sector and government projects
• plan, secure and manage land supply for urban, industrial and economic development
• develop and review policy and legislation for local governments, and encourage improvement through the provision of training, assistance and advice
• distribute funding to local governments for infrastructure and services through grants and subsidy programs
• strengthen a professional, ethical and high performance organisation that values and nurtures its employees.

The department’s strategic plan for 2009 – 2013 has more detail on our priorities.

The department's organisational structure ( 118 KB) was released in August 2009.
