Australia TradeCoast estimates it can create another 46,000 jobs in the coming 20 years, Queensland Deputy Premier, Treasurer and Minister for Infrastructure Anna Bligh detailed today when launching the TradeCoast’s 20-year Strategic Infrastructure Plan.
The Plan is designed to coordinate infrastructure planning and land use sequencing for Australia TradeCoast’s – the trade and industry precinct taking in Brisbane’s Port and Airport region.
“Australia TradeCoast is one of the best industrial addresses in Australia and this plan aims to ensure that it remains ‘Queensland’s export gateway to the world’,” she said.
The Plan forecasts employment by 2026 to exceed 100,000 and its direct and indirect input to Gross State Product (GSP) to reach $16.3 billion by 2013 – 2014.
Ms Bligh said this growth mirrored Queensland economic performance and it was a critical element in the State’s continued economic expansion.
“The Plan is ambitious - but you can’t capitalise on economic opportunities without ambition.”
The Plan details how Australia TradeCoast aims to deliver $6.2 billion of infrastructure over next 20 years with the projected 46,000 jobs spin off.
“The Beattie Government will continue to work with Australia Trade Coast to ensure its stellar growth continues.”
Australia TradeCoast takes in more than 7,500 businesses small businesses to multinational companies such as Qantas, European Aeronautic Defence and Space’s (EADS) Australian Aerospace, The Toll Group, FedEx, Australia Post, Union Switch and Signal, Australian Country Choice, DP World, BP and Caltex.

The Plan enables Australia TradeCoast’s shareholding partners – the Queensland Government, the Brisbane Airport Corporation, Port of Brisbane Corporation and Marketing Brisbane – Invest Brisbane – to achieve a coordinated vision for infrastructure planning.
The Plan complements the South East Queensland Infrastructure Plan’s timeframe and also SEQIP’s sequencing approach to precinct development and infrastructure delivery.
