Budget stories are always about winners and losers, and Ipswich was mainly the latter after we took a while to look for which major projects were set to receive federal government funding.
At the top of our list this year were upgrades to the Cunningham Hwy Yamanto to Ebenezer Creek section, the Springfield-Ipswich rail line, and improvements to North Ipswich Reserve.

The upgrade to the Mt Crosby Rd interchange on the Warrego Hwy is the only major road project to get a mention in the budget.
