Barnaby Joyce says major road and dam projects in Queensland are not only good for the state but the nation.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull will chair federal cabinet in Brisbane on Tuesday before travelling around Queensland to talk up his jobs and growth strategy, amid concerns One Nation is winning over disgruntled voters in regional areas.

"I certainly don't take this place for granted, Malcolm doesn't take it for granted and we want to make sure we drag other people along with us on this path of making Queensland a stronger place - there's my little epistle from St Barnaby," he told reporters in Brisbane on Monday.
