MIPP and Local Buy: A Perfect Fit
Queensland councils will soon receive advice on the outcome of applications submitted for phase 2 of the Queensland Government’s Maturing the Infrastructure Pipeline Program (MIPP 2). MIPP is overseen by the Department of State Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning (DSDSMIP). It will provide $22 million in grant funding to local governments to directly engage a professional service provider to undertake:
