Local Government and Industry should be involved to form Queensland Infrastructure to advise State Government on long term infrastructure

needs and priorities for Queensland. A Roads to Resources fund should be established to facilitate Government and industry investment in better roads in regional Queensland. The emerging capacity constraints associated with the South Brisbane - Roma Street link in the centre of Brisbane should be addressed as a first step in addressing the cross river rail issue. All of the infrastructure projects that have been allocated genuine construction funding in the current four year budget forward estimates process should be completed as scheduled. Sourcing additional funding for the great many more infrastructure projects that have been identified but remain unfunded - should be a priority to address the backlog caused by 20 years of Labor mismanagement and inertia. Identified Critical Priority Projects should be fast tracked immediately by an LNP State Government.

Standardise the requirements of major project proponents to invest in community and social infrastructure when developing major projects and establish structures to coordinate and maximise the effectiveness of that investment.

Queensland needs a new economic development and infrastructure vision - a new innovative approach - to ensure we can provide the infrastructure that will underpin the states future economic growth and social development
