Official government reports

Regional Investment

Australian Government grant awards and Queensland Government reported expenditure across Ipswich, Lockyer Valley, Scenic Rim and Somerset.

Australian Government

Explore Australian Government grants awarded across our region. New awards and later funding changes appear in the financial year they relate to. Totals include increases and subtract reductions. A grant may fund several years of work, so its award value is different from the amount paid each year.

Figures include records we have reviewed from official reports and may not cover every local investment. Australian grant awards and Queensland annual spending are presented separately because they measure different things.
