Thank you for attending the NQ Branch Conference in Townsville!

Thank you to the 135 delegates who joined us in Townsville for the NQ Branch Conference. Congratulations to Justin Fischer from Cassowary Coast Regional Council who won best paper for his presentation on “Tully Grandstand”. Justin will present his paper at the 2021 Annual Conference held in Cairns, 12-14 October.

Our events are successful because of the organisations that support and sponsor IPWEAQ. Thank you to our conference sponsors, SpelStormwater, St George Project Services, LGIAsuper, Project Delivery Managers and Shepherd. 

Our Branch Conference dinner was filled with once-off opportunities! Delegates were treated to a behind-the-scenes tour of the Queensland Country Bank Stadium, followed by a Q&A with Cowboys CEO Jeff Reibel and Assistant Coach (and former NRL player) Steve Georgallis. After the interview, a signed cowboys jersey was auctioned off for $1,600! Congratulations to Brenden Quabba from St George Project Services for winning the auction.

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 $2,100 for Rural Aid.   

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!
