What we do
Our vision is a financially strong government delivering a resilient economy with secure energy, more homes and investment that benefits all Queenslanders. Our purpose is to shape a strong and resilient Queensland economy through fiscal stewardship, economic insight and strategic investment leadership.
Support government to grow the Queensland economy and stimulate productivity
As a central agency, at Queensland Treasury we drive the government’s plan to deliver a strong economic future for Queensland, lifting productivity and growing the Queensland economy in line with the government’s economic growth priorities and economic strategy. To achieve this, our role includes:
- facilitating Queensland’s open door for private sector investors and sovereign investors from interstate and overseas to stimulate jobs and economic growth for Queenslanders
- creating an economic and regulatory environment that attracts interstate and overseas private sector investment
- driving a strong focus across government to ensure well-researched policies and strategies that further the productivity and competitiveness of the Queensland economy
- developing and maintaining effective intergovernmental relations that enhance Queensland’s policy position and influence partnering with other agencies to address housing supply and affordability challenges to support home ownership.
Deliver an affordable, reliable and sustainable Queensland energy system
We prioritise delivery of the Queensland Energy Roadmap to support an energy system that is affordable, reliable and sustainable. To achieve this, our role includes:
- delivering investment into state-owned coal, hydro and gas assets
- progressing key energy projects and investigating other smaller pumped hydro schemes in partnership with the private sector
- facilitating private sector investment in new energy infrastructure while maintaining public ownership of existing assets
- leading Queensland’s energy policy, market, legislative and regulatory frameworks to support an affordable, reliable and sustainable energy system, including national market engagement and consumer outcomes.
Drive fiscal sustainability
We manage the long-term sustainability of Queensland’s fiscal position and lead the statewide approach in managing the state’s balance sheet to support delivery of the government’s priorities by:
- advising on budget strategies to improve agency and corporation performance
- optimising the state’s revenue base through best practice revenue, fines, grants and debt recovery administration
- supporting development of a sustainable government capital program to support economic growth and productivity
- managing the state’s financial risks and opportunities through a fiscal strategy that supports the Charter of Fiscal Responsibility.
Influence public sector performance and accountability
We engage across government agencies to identify opportunities for more efficient and streamlined service delivery to improve sustainability and effectiveness for all Queenslanders by:
- delivering the 4-year Roadmap for Social Enterprise and Impact Investing
- working with Queensland’s government-owned corporations to deliver the best services and value for Queenslanders
- ensuring in-house public sector consulting provides advice, builds capability and contributes to cost savings within the sector.
Our 2026-2030 Strategic Plan details the vision, purpose and objectives that guide our work, appropriate strategies for delivering on those, and performance indicators to measure the extent to which they are achieved over time. It also considers strategic risks and opportunities that can hinder or help us achieve the objectives.
