Congratulations to Nicholas Le Good from Department of Transport and Main Roads, who won best paper for his presentation on “Captain Cook Bridge Refurbishment Works”. Nicholas will present his 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, Toowoomba Regional Council and our event sponsors, GenEng Solutions, Ventia, FKG Group, Orterra, Tonkin, Wagners, Norton Rose Fulbright and Shepherd.

Our social functions were one to be remembered. The Welcome Function kicked off at the Royal Hotel Toowoomba with good food, drinks and conversation. The Branch Conference dinner was also one to be remembered! Delegates enjoyed a paranormal activity tour, plus a live charity auction at the Pioneer Village.

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 and auction, where we were able to raise over $2,600 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!
