2020 Queensland Major Projects Pipeline Report
Introducing the 2020 Queensland Major Projects Pipeline Report
The Queensland Major Projects Pipeline Report is the definitive guide to the major construction works that will define the success of Queensland’s Contracting Sector.
Authored by BIS Oxford Economics, Queensland Major Contractors Association and Infrastructure Association of Queensland, the report is a mainstay of government policy, media commentary and influence, as we actively pursue and deliver the transformational projects that employ our people, connect our communities and drive the long term economic and social wellbeing of the state.
Launched via a gala event in Brisbane and regionally in Townsville and Toowoomba, the 2020 Queensland Major Projects Report will be the essential guide to our industry and the projects that Queensland needs for long term financial and social prosperity.
With 2020 being a pivotal year for infrastructure in Queensland, partnering with the Queensland Major Projects Pipeline Report offers outstanding opportunities to connect your brand with the sector, its stakeholders and supply chain.
As we head into 2020, we have reasons to be optimistic about the future of our industry in Queensland as major projects such as Inland Rail, Cross River Rail, Brisbane Metro and upgrades to the M1, Bruce Highway and essential water infrastructure development begin in earnest. In addition with Local Government and State Election schedules for March and October we expect there to be major works announced across the state, meaning that there has never been a better time for brands to be positioned as champions and supporters of the industry.
The five-year infrastructure pipeline of major projects has grown in Queensland by over $10bn in the last 12 months according to the latest Queensland Major Projects Pipeline reported. Produced by Queensland Major Contractors Association (QMCA) and Infrastructure Association of Queensland (IAQ), the report utilises data sourced directly from government and the private sector, to provide state-wide visibility and awareness of Queensland’s infrastructure plans.

PROJECT PIPELINE GROWS TO $50BN
The report details the pipeline of major infrastructure projects within Queensland across the next five years totalling over $50bn in planned, funded and in construction works.
QMCA CEO, Jon Davies “We are delighted to see significant growth in the pipeline, with works totalling $50.6bn scheduled between 2019/20 and 2023/24.”
“However, there is still an element of risk around the total figure as $23.2bn of work is not funded at this stage. This is mostly down to planned resources and energy projects which take considerable time to plan, fund and gain approval.”
“Overall there are reasons to be optimistic, with many major projects such as Inland Rail, Cross River Rail, Brisbane Metro and upgrades to the M1, Bruce Highway and essential water infrastructure developments beginning in earnest.”
“There is also good news for regional Queensland with significant increases in funded work in the pipeline for the Darling Downs-Maranoa, Townsville and Fitzroy regions, with smaller increases for the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Wide Bay and Cairns regions,” said Mr Davies.

ENVIRONMENT CENTRAL TO SUSTAINABLE INDUSTRY
The report also highlights the need for the infrastructure industry to meet the changing view of the Australian public and to focus on greater sustainability, reduced environmental impacts and the development of infrastructure to mitigate the effects of a changing climate.
IAQ CEO, Priscilla Radice detailed the changes industry must make to meet environmental challenges head-on, “Environmental sustainability is a visceral issue for many Australians, particularly with recent disastrous bushfires across eastern Australia and crippling droughts and floods.”
“As an industry, we are expected to deliver major projects but to do so with as minimal environmental impact as possible. Measures include taking steps to address the root causes of anthropogenic climate change and minimising the carbon footprint of our industry.”
“Sustainability isn’t just about environmental matters it’s much broader – our economic sustainability is linked to diversity as this provides resilience. Queensland is faced with immense challenges as we transition to a low carbon world, but those challenges also provide extraordinary opportunities. To realise the benefits, we need long term positive transition plans for regional communities and greater trust between the public and private sectors to invest together in innovative ways,” said Ms Radice.
