Councils across Queensland will be urged to ban the use of plastic drinking straws and water bottles.

The issue is among 110 motions proposed for debate at the Local Government Association of Queensland's annual conference, to be held from Monday to Wednesday in Brisbane.

The push, led by the Cairns Regional Council, would ask the LGAQ to support local governments to commit to phasing out plastic straws and other single-use plastics from council operations and events across the state.

The LGAQ would also be asked to lobby the state government to develop a Queensland education campaign to help communities and industry transition away from single-use plastics and implement stricter measures to address straws, plastic bottles and helium balloons.
