The Queensland Budget 2024–25 includes a capital program of $107.3 billion over the 4 years to 2027–28.

The government plans to use the private sector to manage and deliver some of these projects. It is therefore crucial that public sector entities manage risks through the life cycle of these projects to ensure successful delivery. This can be achieved through the appropriate transfer of risk to another party to manage. The key frameworks to manage these risks are set by the Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning, and the Department of Housing and Public Works.
