Queensland’s unprecedented population and economic growth has increased the need for transport infrastructure. The Department of Infrastructure and Planning is coordinating the planning and delivery of transport infrastructure to keep Queensland industry world competitive and to safeguard Queensland’s lifestyle.

Transport infrastructure ranges from building new rail links and port upgrades to assist mining and agricultural exports, to building new road and public transport networks and aviation facilities. The common denominator is delivering transport infrastructure for Queensland that generates economic growth and prosperity, is sustainable and safeguards Queensland’s quality of life. Examples of new transport infrastructure include the Tugun Bypass on the Gold Coast and the Brisbane Cruise Terminal. 

Queensland is an acknowledged transport industry leader with Boeing Australia and Virgin Blue headquartered in Brisbane. Aviation Australia in Brisbane continues to be a centre of aviation education excellence, providing qualified aviation maintenance and hospitality staff for airlines in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.
