The Labor government has pledged an additional $200 million to the Works for Queensland regional infrastructure program if they are re-elected on November 25.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk made the announcement in Bundaberg at the end of a six-day blitz of the state's regions, where she was joined for the first time on the hustings by Deputy Premier Jackie Trad.

It's the latest funding increase for existing projects promised by the minority government, which the premier said was in contrast to the LNP who had pledged to end programs once they had run their course.
