The South East Queensland Infrastructure Plan and Program 2009–2026 outlines the government's infrastructure priorities for the South East Queensland (SEQ) region to support the SEQ Regional Plan. It represents a long-term commitment to infrastructure delivery in SEQ.

The SEQ Infrastructure Plan was first released in 2005 and is updated annually to reflect and align with the latest planning and budget commitments. It sets timeframes and budgets to ensure infrastructure is delivered to support the region’s growth. The SEQ Infrastructure Plan 2009-2026 remains in effect under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009. The plan will be updated to reflect the requirements of the new Act.

The 2009 edition of the plan identifies $124 billion in estimated infrastructure investment (inclusive of federal government contributions and other revenue sources), which is expected to create up to 900,000 jobs through to 2026:

• $94.6 billion in road, rail and public transport
• $4.6 billion in water
• $5.8 billion in health
• $3.3 billion in energy networks
• $6.8 billion in social and community infrastructure
• $9.1 billion in completed projects.
