A proposed 17,000-seat entertainment precinct over Roma Street train station is among a handful of new projects to make the priority list of the state's infrastructure body.

For the first time, Brisbane Live has appeared in Building Queensland's latest Infrastructure Pipeline Report, which guides the state government's investment in major infrastructure.

Building Queensland is leading the development of a detailed business case for AEG Ogden's Brisbane Live proposal, with the Cross River Rail Delivery Authority.

The body said benefits of Brisbane Live included enhanced productivity from the co-location of jobs and housing, better use of existing infrastructure and increased retail and entertainment activity.

It could also attract more international entertainment performances to Brisbane.

As part of the detailed business case, analysis will consider risk, operational impacts and value for money, Building Queensland said.

The Brisbane Live project was among seven proposals to be added to Building Queensland's latest Infrastructure Pipeline report.

Almost half of those were from the transport sector - including Gold Coast Light Rail Stage 3A - while there was also a new or enhanced Bundaberg hospital and extra primary education capacity in Logan.

Building Queensland chief executive Damian Gould said the pipeline provided analysis that allowed the government to make informed decisions on large infrastructure projects.

"Good projects that are supported by detailed investigations and assessments are flowing through the pipeline having received funding commitments," he said.

Infrastructure Minister Cameron Dick said 18 proposals from Building Queensland's pipeline had received funding commitments since June 2016.

Since December, the government has committed funding to nine projects listed in the previous report.

Meanwhile, the Queensland government has mapped out how it will spend $45.8 billion on infrastructure over the next four years - the biggest spend since the 2011 flood recovery - in its updated State Infrastructure Plan.

The report lists opportunities to secure transport, port facilities, water infrastructure and community amenities to unlock thermal coal in the Galilee and Surat basins, bauxite deposits near Aurukun and under-explored gas reserves in the Cooper Basin.

It says the Natural Resources Department and Transport and Main Roads continued to progress opportunities to secure infrastructure, specifically transport infrastructure, which would support the expansion of the state's natural resources industries.

However, the Palaszczuk Labor government has vetoed a $1 billion Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility loan for a rail line to the Adani Carmichael mine.

Transport and Main Roads will also investigate the costs of construction above urban public transport infrastructure to work out if development is feasible.
