Thank you to the 130+ delegates who joined us in Gladstone for the CQ Branch Conference. 

Congratulations to Celisa Faulkner (Gladstone Regional Council), who won best paper for her presentation on “Robust Decisions Delivering Fit for Purpose Investments”. Celisa will present her paper at the 2022 Annual Conference held in Brisbane, 11-13 October.

Our events are successful because of the organisations that support and sponsor IPWEAQ. Thank you to our conference sponsors, Gladstone Regional Council, GBA Consulting Engineers, and Shepherd.  

Our Branch Conference dinner was one to be remembered! Delegates enjoyed a tour of the Gladstone Maritime Museum followed by an incredible dinner at Auckland House. 

A special thank you to our exhibitors for offering delegates an opportunity to hear about and experience what is available to improve local communities. We appreciate the raffle prizes that exhibitors donated for our charity raffle, where we were able to raise over $1,025 for Strengthening Rural Communities.   

We were also delighted to present gifts to members who had achieved an IPWEAQ membership milestone during the last 12 months. Thank you for your ongoing support of IPWEAQ!
