Economic Development Queensland

Economic Development Queensland (EDQ) is committed to working with industry, local government and communities to deliver housing, economic prosperity and liveable places at scale and pace. As the Queensland Government’s land use planning and development agency, it is well-placed to coordinate seamlessly across government to achieve quality outcomes in partnership with its stakeholders.

EDQ plays a critical role in unlocking land for housing supply both in Priority Development Areas (PDAs) and on surplus Government land. EDQ is also dedicated to delivering infrastructure in the right places at the right time as well as identifying and facilitating projects that are delivering jobs and helping existing businesses to grow.

EDQ is focused on service delivery excellence, working actively with customers to get the outcomes that will benefit Queenslanders and working smoothly across private and public sectors. This includes cutting red tape so that our decision making is agile and transparent. EDQ is also transforming its service offering to be more flexible, consistent and timely, ensuring EDQ is a supportive partner that is easy to work with.

Backed by the Economic Development Act 2012, EDQ has the ability to act decisively in partnership with the market to unlock land, optimise PDAs and deliver economic growth opportunities that will benefit all Queenslanders.

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.
