Sand mining on North Stradbroke Island and a $1 billion revamp of the Cleveland ferry terminal hang in the balance while the new state Labor government takes shape.
Force majeure clauses in Cleveland's Toondah Harbour marina preliminary contracts between the previous state government and the Walker Group will allow both parties to walk away under certain conditions.
However, Walker Group Queensland Development general manager Peter Saba said his company was committed to the project and did not expect the "fundamentals" to change under a Labor government.
"We are in the middle of formalising a development agreement and some development applications to the state which need to be lodged," he said.
"Of course, there will be a review of the project with the new state government but I am confident not much will change."
Redland City Council spent more than two years and $1.5 million planning the residential and restaurant harbour project it estimated would create about 1000 jobs a year and act as a tourism hub.
Deputy Premier Jackie Trad was sworn in as Minister for Infrastructure and Planning when the ALP named its 14 ministers on Sunday.
Ms Trad has said she would review all priority developments and Labor policy has been to effectively wind up sand mining on Stradbroke by 2019.
Redland mayor Karen Williams met with new Capalaba MP Don Brown last week and discussed the two ventures.
Mr Brown assured her his party wanted a long-term solution to the transport needs at Toondah Harbour and said he would lobby the relevant minister to make sure the project got the consideration it deserved.
Cr Williams said council held hopes for the Toondah project, which would be critical to Stradbroke Island's economic future if the ALP pushed ahead with plans to end sand mining by 2019.
"These priority development areas (Toondah Harbour and Weinam Creek at Redland Bay) mean jobs short term and long term for our city and the state," she said. "The new government is keen to see unemployment numbers improve."
Cleveland MP Mark Robinson (LNP) claimed that ending sand mining in 2019 would result in the loss of 600 jobs.
"Straddie residents sent Labor a clear message at the ballot box in January again saying 'Annastacia, don't shut Straddie down'," Mr Robinson said.
"Labor lost all island booths on primary vote, and Dunwich and Amity Point on two-party preferred.''
Sibelco, which employs 225 staff on the island and contributes up to $130 million to the state economy every year, said it looked forward to working with the new government.
But Sibelco sustainability manager Paul Smith said four years was not enough time to complete work on the island, where the LNP had legislated to allow the extension of sand mining leases until 2035. He said winding up mining prematurely would jeopardise the future of 50 indigenous families and up to 400 contractors.
Redlands Greens spokeswoman Penny Allman-Payne said her party wanted guarantees the new government would honour its election promise to end sand mining in 2019.
She said the Greens also wanted the ALP to confirm promises of $20 million to help Straddie adjust from a mining-based economy.
As well, the party would seek a review of the process surrounding the redevelopment of Toondah Harbour.
"Many Cleveland residents have been critical of the lack of adequate community consultation surrounding this redevelopment under the previous LNP government," she said.

Former ALP Environment Minister Kate Jones will take the Education portfolio from the LNP's John-Paul Langbroek.
