QLD:Record cash splurge ahead of state's high-stakes budget

Record infrastructure spending has been unveiled by a state government set to reveal how it will provide cost-of-living relief while preparing to host the Olympics.

Queensland Treasurer David Janetzki has delivered a final pitch ahead of delivering his second budget on Tuesday, saying it will help shape the state's future as they count down to the Brisbane Games.

A record $119.2 billion in infrastructure over four years has been promised in the latest budget, with $55.9 billion set aside for roads and rail including a Gold Coast Transport Plan to be completed by 2032.

"Our first budget laid the foundation for a fresh start, and tomorrow's budget will strengthen them because we need to build Queensland's future," Mr Janetzki said on Monday.
