Here's how things have played out

The LNP is projected to form government in Queensland, wresting power from Labor for the first time in almost a decade.

David Crisafulli will become the 41st premier of the state after defeating the Steven Miles-led government.

ABC election analyst Antony Green said the LNP would likely form a majority government. 

"It's certainly not the landslide everyone thought a month ago," he said. 

Mr Crisafulli said Queenslanders had "chosen hope over fear".

"To the people of the this great state, I lived and I've work at both ends of it, and I love every inch of it," he said. 

Mr Miles did not concede defeat, but said the party was unlikely to win a majority.

"Many seats remain too close to call," he said.

"If you consider what we were up against, this is an extraordinary result.

Crisafulli says work starts tomorrow

"We asked Queenslanders to choose hope over fear and they did," he says.  

"We asked Queenslanders to vote for a fresh start and they did. "

He says he will get to work tomorrow. 

"We do what we say we were going to do," he says. " We don't do what we say we wouldn't do." 

Mr Crisafulli says the LNP hasn't won back-to-back elections in Queensland since 1986.

"If you believe in the values of your politicalmovement and the people of your state, it has to be about generational government," he says.  

"We govern with humility and decency and vision and tenacity and, in doing so, we get the opportunity to governfor a longer period of time."  

Mr Crisafulli has finished his speech with a famous quote. 

"To borrow a phrase from a different era and a different political movement— It's time," he says. 

Crisafulli's message to the public service

"I want you to know, we intend to give vision and direction and leadership, but advice will be fearless and frank," he says. 

"The culture of entrenched fear will be over and together we can deliver the services that Queenslanders deserve."

He says he is mindful many people in the public service may not have voted for the LNP due to a "scare campaign". 

"The good news for us as a political movement and a state is that scare campaign won't be able to be run in four years' time," he says. 

Crisafulli outlines plan for the next decade

He says it will take every day of the next four years to tackle the "big four crises". 

He has referenced these throughout his campaign as health, housing, youth crime and cost of living.

"My vision for Queensland is one where we get on with building the kind of infrastructure we once did in this state — roads and rail and dams and schools and hospitals, the generational infrastructure to open up opportunities," he says. 

"In doing so, we will create a state that benefits working people, many of whom voted for us today for the first time in a long time." 

David Crisafulli says Queenslanders have voted for a majority LNP government

 "Tonight Queenslanders have voted for hope over fear," David Crisafulli says. 

"They have voted for a fresh start and they have voted for a majority LNP government." 

He will be the 41st premier of Queensland.

He says of the last 12 elections, the LNP has only won one on election night. 

"Tonight we get to celebrate the biggest achievement we have had in over a decade," he says. 

He says it is the "turning corner of the youth crime crisis".

"It will be the turning corner to mean that there are fewer victims in this state and, by Christmas, adult crime, adult time will be law."

Cameron Dick: 'It is not for me to concede, it is always for the leader'

The ABC projects that the Liberal National Party has won the election, and will hold a majority.

Labor deputy leader Cameron Dick has told the ABC " we can't form government". 

However, he says it is Steven Miles's decision as the leader to concede defeat.  

"It is not for me to concede, it is always for the leader," he says. 

Mr Dick says he does not know whether Mr Miles had spoken to LNP leader David Crisafulli. 

Meaghan Scanlon thanks supporters in Gaven but doesn't comment on result

Reporting by Jessica Lamb

Labor incumbent Meaghan Scanlon has yet to declare victory or defeat in the seat of Gaven, the only Labor held electorate on the Gold Coast.

The ABC projects that Labor is likely to retain the seat based on preference count with 68.8 per cent counted. 

Arriving to her party faithful gathering in Nerang after 10pm, Ms Scanlon said the count was continuing and she was feeling optimistic.

"We stood here back in 2017 and I was 24 at the time and everyone said we couldn't do it and we did do it," she said.

"The LNP did everything they could to try and take this seat from us… they continue to try and make the Gold Coast a sea of blue."

Ms Scanlon thanked her "Labor army" and encouraged her supporters to celebrate as counting continues.

"We stood up for the things that matter and we should be proud of that," she said.

LNP projected to win Queensland election and will govern in majority

The ABC projects that the Liberal National Party has won the Queensland election, and will hold a majority of seats in the state parliament.

David Crisafulli will be the 41st premier of the state after defeating the Steven Miles-led Labor Party.

The party has been in opposition since the defeat of Campbell Newman’s government after a single term in 2015.

On the latest count, there has been a swing of around 6.8 per cent to the LNP.

The party has won at least 47 seats in the 93 member Legislative Assembly with many seats still in doubt.

Miles thanks supporters, says he will never stop holding LNP to account

Steven Miles has thanked his team and his family. 

"I said at the beginning of this that I wasn't going to die wondering," he says.

"And I stand by that tonight."

He outlined Labor's major policies and took aim at the LNP 

"Queenslanders know what I believe and what I stand for," he says.

"While David Crisafulli ducked and weaved and tied himself into the tiniest small target Queensland has ever seen."

Miles says "whatever the final number of seats" he will "keep doing what matters for Queensland.

He finishes his speech to people cheering: "Steven, Steven, Steven".  

"I will never stop fighting for our Labor agenda," he says. 

"And, I will never stop holding the LNP to account."
