The Crisafulli Government is delivering for Queensland, with better services through a stronger economy, by building Queensland’s future and making Queensland safer – all with no new or increased taxes, and relief you can rely on.
The 2026-27 Budget delivers lower debt, $73.5 billion lower than it would have been under Labor, based on MYFER 24-25, by 2029-30, and delivers a surplus in 2029-30.
The Crisafulli Government’s Budget delivers a record cost of living package for Queenslanders, with an increased $150 Back to School Boost, a two-year freeze on bulk water prices saving South East Queensland families around $130, and the Energy Roadmap Price Drop which passes on lower power prices to Ergon customers in full.
The LNP’s Permanent 50 Cent Fares will be enshrined in legislation, along with the axing Labor’s Patient’s Tax and abolishing Stamp Duty for first buyers on new homes, delivering relief you can rely on, locked-in law so future Labor Government’s are unable to take it away from Queenslanders.
A Fuel Security Plan will fast track the Taroom Trough Development Plan, with support for new refinery capability and fuel storage, to restore Queensland’s ability to drill, refine and store locally.
A Critical Minerals Program will accelerate investment into new projects and infrastructure to unlock the extraction, processing and export of our highly-sought critical minerals to the world.
The fully-funded Hospital Rescue Plan will deliver three new hospitals in Toowoomba, Coomera and Bundaberg, with ten hospital expansions, and more than 200 new hospital beds coming online in the next year.
The $2 billion Residential Activation Fund has been fast-tracked to unlock more homes sooner, Round 2 doubled to $1 billion, delivering a place to call home for more Queenslanders.
This Budget is delivering a record infrastructure spend with more than $119 billion to over the next four years.
That includes the $9 billion Bruce Highway upgrade program delivered with a restored 80:20 agreement with Canberra, a new Gold Coast Transport Plan and The Wave all the way to the Sunshine Coast Airport, are just some of a record $55.9 billion generational transport infrastructure investment in this Budget.
More than $1 billion has been added to Queensland’s social and community housing build, with a record $5.7 billion to support the 6,500 homes that are currently underway, and the goal of delivering 53,500 by 2044.
Premier David Crisafulli said the 2026-27 Budget was delivering for Queensland.
“We are delivering what we said we would, with the hospitals, schools, generational infrastructure, housing and police we promised, all with no new or increased taxes,” Premier Crisafulli said.
“We’ve got more frontline workers than ever before including more police, more teachers, more nurses and more doctors, and we’re delivering more healthcare and better transport, with relief you can rely on.
“We’re delivering better services through a stronger economy, building Queensland’s future, and continuing to make Queensland safer, just as we said we would.”
Treasurer David Janetzki said the Budget made the responsible decisions for now and the future.
“Despite global pressures, rising inflation and interest rates, Federal Budget uncertainty, and the challenges we inherited from the former Government, we are delivering more for Queenslanders with no new or increased taxes,” Treasurer Janetzki said.
“Where other governments have taken the easy road through higher taxes, we have chosen to make the responsible decision for now and the future, with no new or increased taxes.
“We are restoring Budget discipline and respect for Queenslanders’ money, just as we promised.”
Finance Minister Ros Bates said the Budget protected frontline jobs and invested in a skilled workforce for the future.
“We inherited a Budget under pressure from unfunded commitments baked in, and a lack of financial discipline,” Minister Bates said.
“This Budget continues our open for business approach, repairing our international reputation, supporting our exporters and providing investment certainty and stability to strengthen our economy, which is delivering benefits for all Queenslanders.
“This Budget continues restoring respect for Queenslanders’ money, delivering projects on time and on budget, carefully managing expense growth and putting a handbrake on the growth of the senior executive, with more frontline workers than ever before.
“That discipline is what allows us to keep backing the frontline services and delivering the programs to end Labor’s crises in health, housing, youth crime and cost of living.”
