Six of south-east Queensland's most critical infrastructure projects received funding in the 2018 federal budget, but bus, rail and road projects are yet to be financed.

The unfunded critical projects include the Brisbane Valley Highway upgrade between Blacksoil and Blackbutt, the Manly to Cleveland rail duplication, the eastern busway to Capalaba and the Mt Lindesay Highway upgrade business case.

The Council of Mayors (SEQ) said the infrastructure projects are a must, but they need a partnership approach from higher levels of government to make them a reality.
