Good design makes a vital contribution to the state's economy, culture and lifestyle. It has the capacity to protect our environment and positively influence the lives of all Queenslanders. The State Government wants to tap into the potential of our designers to increase the competitiveness of business and the public sector and improve Queenslanders' quality of life.

In 2008, the Queensland Government reaffirmed the value of design to the State's future development by announcing the $3 million Designing Queensland initiative as part of the Smart State Strategy 2008-2012.
To implement the priorities of Designing Queensland, The Queensland Design Strategy 2020 was launched in 2009. This Strategy is a whole-of-government framework dedicated to promoting the value of design and inspiring its take up by Queensland businesses, the community, and the public sector.
Through a series of four-year plans, the Strategy will support and guide the growth of the design sector nationally and internationally through a variety of classroom, boardroom and community initiatives, high-profile events, international exchanges and the mainstreaming of good design into government departments.
