Borrowing program

Local governments seeking borrowings for capital projects, refinancing of existing debt, and/or a Working Capital Facility can submit an application to the Department.

Please refer to the application guidelines ( 154.0 KB) for further information about this process, including the key dates and required documentation for the current financial year’s Local Government Borrowing Program.

Please note: The application period for the 2023-24 Local Government Borrowing Program has now closed. We thank all councils that have participated. For inquiries or further information, please contact us at lgborrowings@dsdilgp.qld.gov.au.

Separate approval of the Treasurer is required for borrowings and facilities not sourced from QTC. The approval process of non-QTC borrowings and facilities is not covered here. Please email any queries on this issue to lgborrowings@dsdilgp.qld.gov.au
