Premier David Crisafulli said the Budget was strengthening the foundations for a fresh start for Ipswich and Logan.

"We are continuing to deliver a fresh start for the Ipswich and Logan, addressing the crises we inherited in youth crime, health, housing and cost of living as well as delivering the local community initiatives we promised," Premier Crisafulli said.

"We are delivering better services through a stronger economy with relief Ipswich and Logan can rely on, including the $150 Back to School Boost, Play On! Sports Vouchers, a two-year freeze on bulk water prices and Permanent 50 Cent Fares.

"After years of underinvestment, we're getting on with building Queensland's future with the generational infrastructure to get you home sooner and safer, with a place to call home for more Queenslanders, and more schools for our growing population.

"We remain laser focused on making Queensland safer with more police, stronger laws, early intervention and rehabilitation, and with victim numbers down we know we're heading in the right direction but there's still much more work to do.

"This budget is delivering on our promises, with no new or increased taxes and relief you can rely on, making the responsible decisions for now and the future."
