About Economic Development Queensland (EDQ)
Creating and investing in sustainable places for Queensland to prosper
About us
Economic Development Queensland (EDQ) is the Queensland Government’s land use planning and property development agency. We embrace partnerships across government, industry and the community to deliver new residential communities, urban precincts and industrial ecosystems.
Backed by the Economic Development Act 2012, EDQ has unique planning and approval powers and a mandate to create private sector investment opportunities by de-risking and unlocking land for redevelopment. EDQ has planned and facilitated the delivery of some of the largest residential developments in Queensland, as well as some of the state’s most iconic urban renewal projects. We set benchmarks for the property industry through innovations and we’re creating jobs of the future in regional Queensland by unlocking land to promote priority industries, including clean energy and large-scale manufacturing.
We measure our success by the value we create in economic, social and environmental impacts. Over the last decade we have generated more than $3.7 billion in private sector investment and facilitated over $1 billion in trunk infrastructure for Queensland. EDQ focuses on achieving commercial outcomes for the state while delivering on government priorities.
Our difference
Economic Development Queensland (EDQ) combines property development with specialist planning functions to achieve our vision of creating and investing in sustainable places for Queensland to prosper. EDQ has over 17 locations throughout Queensland, providing industrial land solutions to help retain existing industry and attract new business investment and development in Queensland. The land EDQ develops has been designed to accommodate a wide range of industrial uses including:
- manufacturing
- transport and logistics
- resource processing
- mining equipment, technology and services (METS)
- energy and renewables
- food production
- resource recovery
- aerospace and defence, and
- ancillary activities.
We create opportunities by opening up and de-risking land for industrial development. We understand that large-scale development projects are complex; so we offer contracts that allow you to make a thoroughly informed decision towards purchase. Additionally, we provide peace of mind to approved applicants by having the land exclusively secured for the duration of the application and approvals process.
So, if you have a project in mind, talk to us to find out if we have industrial land that suits your business.
