Thank you to the 120 delegates who joined us in Mackay for the NQ Branch Conference. 

Congratulations to Kylie Rogers from Mackay Regional Council who won best paper for her presentation on the “Mackay Waterfront Project”. Kylie 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. Our sincere thanks again to our host council, Mackay Regional Council and our event sponsors, Premise and Shepherd. 

The Welcome Function kicked off at the Mackay Hotel with good food, drinks and lively conversation. The Branch Conference dinner was also one to be remembered! Delegates enjoyed an exclusive, interactive Trivia Night run by QuizzaMe at Mackay’s Harrup Park.

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 raised money for our President’s Charity, 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!
