In post-budget statements, government ministers detailed the administration's multi-million dollar commitment to improving services and infrastructure for Brisbane. Treasurer Tim Nicholls said families and communities across the greater Brisbane region would "reap the rewards of the Newman Government’s fiscal repair effort".

Mr Nicholls said that effort was about delivering cost-of-living relief to families and investment in local schools, hospitals and roads. In addition to rebates of up to $80 per domestic water connection, Mr Nicholls said families would benefit from freezes to car registration costs and electricity tariffs, and principal place of residence concessions for some people buying the family home. He said schools throughout Brisbane stood to benefit from a $200 million 'Advancing Our Schools Maintenance Fund' (mapped above), which also allows for state school Parents and Citizens organisations to apply for grants up to $160,000 to fix existing priority maintenance issues. Mr Nicholls said the Government was investing heavily in health services in the Brisbane region, with almost $25 million allocated to the Queensland Children’s Hospital Academic and Research Centre to attract specialist health workers. There were also dollars for roads and public transport, with millions going towards upgrades of intersections, interchanges, rail, bus and cycleways.

“The Government is investing $230 million in the Brisbane road network, including $124 million to help reduce road congestion at rail crossings on Telegraph Road, Bracken Ridge and Robinson Road, Geebung," he said. Transport and Main Roads Minister Scott Emerson listed those upgrades - jointly funded with Brisbane City Council - among the highlights in his portfolio. "In addition, the first $1.5 million of a $10 million program to install flashing safety lights at school zones will commence," Mr Emerson said, before detailing spending on public transport. "This budget includes $39 million over four years to deliver the free travel after nine weekly journeys, to reduce the cost of living burden on regular public transport users.

"An additional $18 million has been allocated for a two year trials to improve train frequency with 15 minute daytime services on the Ferny Grove line." Mr Emerson said the review of bus services underway would work to end duplication, simplify the network, improve under-utilised bus services and deliver more services where they are needed around the city. However the transport portfolio also delivered a $35 million decrease in funding for Cross River Rail land acquisitions. Meanwhile Community Safety Minister Jack Dempsey said local highlights from his department included $2 million to start the $7 million redevelopment of the joint emergency services complex in Boundary Street in Spring Hill. There's also $16.8 million allocated to continue the cell upgrade program and modify cells in Arthur Gorrie Correctional Centre at Wacol, $1 million allocated to help revitalise Neighbourhood Watch and Crime Stoppers, and $2 billion for the state police budget including $38 million for the QPS vehicle fleet, 2.5 million for new police boats and $3 million for the Gold Coast police helicopter.

“All of these upgrades will help minimise the impact of accidents, emergencies and disasters on Queenslanders and emergency service workers,” Mr Dempsey said. However the budget also included detail about the sell-off of decommissioned police stations at Kenmore, Chelmer, Newmarket and Stafford, expected to return $9.6 million in revenue. Science, Information Technology, Innovation and the Arts Minister Ros Bates said the budget was a "boon" for the Queensland IT industry. But the budget papers also show the government decided not fund $3.9 million worth of construction planned for the Musgrave Park Cultural Centre at West End. The Boggo Road Urban Village Redevelopment project also saw a $3 million dip in funds which were allocated to the Government Precinct Redevelopment measure announced as part of a Master Plan affecting state buildings on George and William Streets.

Furthermore, the budget papers confirmed a $255 million decision not to proceed with new government office buildings previously proposed for Bowen Hills. Full details of the budget highlights for Brisbane are listed below.
