Each year the government prepares a state budget identifying estimated revenues and expenses over the next 4 years. The budget also outlines how the government’s fiscal objectives and strategies will support key initiatives and longer‑term objectives identified in key documents such as the Savings and Debt Plan and the $62 billion Queensland Energy and Jobs Plan.
