The Institute of Public Works Engineering Australasia Queensland (IPWEAQ’s) Annual Conference is being held 11-13 October 2022 at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre.
This is their 50th year of serving and responding to the needs of all their members – professional engineers and operators across public works and private industries in Queensland.
This celebration conference includes a comprehensive program with the public works exhibition, industry presentations, keynote speakers, panel discussions, technical tours, workshops, masterclasses, networking opportunities, and the renowned IPWEAQ Excellence Awards.
IPWEAQ is a professional membership association that “strives to enhance the quality of life for all Queensland communities by advancing the skills, knowledge and resources to those in the planning and provision of public works and services”.
Formerly known as the Local Government Engineers’ Association of Queensland (LGEAQ), IPWEAQ’s inaugural meeting was held at Southport on 2 October, 1972. The meeting was attended by approximately 50 engineers from various local authorities. TJ (Jim) Abbiss was elected as the founding president.
With significant changes to the sector over the last 50 years, IPWEAQ continues to pursue and strive for excellence. This is driven through innovation, creativity, reviewing and revising our services and products to meet our members’ ever-changing professional needs.
IPWEAQ is looking forward to celebrating this 50-year milestone with their members and the broader public works community at the 2022 Annual Conference.
