Water is one of Queensland's most precious natural resources. Unprecedented population growth and climate change are driving the need to secure Queensland's water supply for the future. A sustainable water supply secures industrial and economic growth while safeguarding Queensland's enviable quality of life.

The Department of Infrastructure and Planning is leading by coordinating the planning and delivery of the largest water supply infrastructure program since Federation.

Projects range from the development of a water grid for South East Queensland to encouraging innovative water solutions for regional Queensland. Projects include new dams, water pipelines and Australia’s first large-scale water desalination plant.
