The Queensland Government commenced a significant capital investment programme they refer to as 'The Big Build'.
While the Government has record Operating surplus, as a result of the progressive royalties scheme on record high coal prices, the capital investment does not change the operating surpluses, now or into the future.
The capital investment will be primarily paid for by increased borrowings.
The future borrowings will increase as the scale of the capital investments increases over the next three years.
The State Opposition has committed to continue with all of these projects, with one exception.
