The states and territories have been urged by Treasurer Josh Frydenberg to come up with an infrastructure wish list as soon as possible as governments look to bring forward projects that could deliver a much-needed boost to the economy.

After a meeting of the nation's treasurers on Friday, Mr Frydenberg said only Queensland had so far put forward projects from the federal government's $100 billion decade-long infrastructure program that could be fast-tracked.

All governments have been encouraged by the Reserve Bank to bring forward infrastructure projects in a bid to drive down the national unemployment rate and push up wages. The RBA has noted that with interest rates at record lows, there may not be a better time for governments to invest in long-lived infrastructure.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison wrote to the states in late August asking for a list of potential projects that could be brought forward. Some states, such as Victoria and Western Australia, have fast-tracked maintenance programs on roads and schools respectively.
