The Federation Branch Role and Commitment National Overview The Civil Contractors Federation (CCF) is the member based representative body of civil engineering contractors in Australia providing assistance and expertise in contractor development and industry issues.

Through our Federation nationally we represent over 2,000 small, medium and large sized contractors who in turn employ more than 40,000 people.

Our members are involved in a variety of projects and activities including the development and maintenance of civil infrastructure such as roads, bridges, dams, wharves, commercial and housing land development.

The Federation operates through a network of Branch Offices that are located in every State and Territory. Nationally the CCF is governed by the elected National Board which comprises of a director from each State and Territory and the National President. The nine members of the National Board set the strategic direction of the Federation and act as the policy making group for the organisation.

Today, the Federation continues to uphold the original aims of improving the civil construction industry as well providing a unified voice for civil contractors to all three levels of Government.

Events National Events Members of the Federation come together nationally for two significant events each year; the National Conference and the CCF Earth Awards.

National Conference Held in a different state each year members and industry colleagues from across Australia are invited to get together to listen, learn and share their experiences and celebrate successes.

Each year the program incorporates extended Plenary Sessions on technology developments, construction methods and managerial advances, positioning industry to best meet the emerging challenges in civil construction.

CCF Earth Awards

Each of the State and Territory CCF branches host a comprehensive range of events. These are aimed at informing, educating, seeking member comment and input and providing members with opportunities to network and enjoy contractor fellowship.

For the latest calendar of events in the NT please go direct to the website; www.civilcontractors.com

Civil Contractors Federation NT Branch

The CCF Earth Awards have the specific aim of recognising and rewarding Excellence in Civil Construction. Each State and Territory hosts events with each of the category winners then moving on to compete for National Awards in specific categories. The Earth Awards are designed to highlight Construction Technique, Environmental Management, and Project Management.

Projects are split into a range of categories which reflect the general break-up of work done in the civil construction sector: • Category One – project value up to $1 million • Category Two – $1 million to $5 million • Category Three – $5 million to $20 million • Category Four – $20 million to $75 million • Category Five – more than $75 million

CCFNT Trainee & Apprentice Awards

Information/Dinner Nights

The Branch annually conducts training and apprenticeship awards to acknowledge the significant achievements of our people employed in the civil construction industry sector. The 2014 awards are split into the following categories:

On a quarterly basis the CCFNT holds information nights in Darwin and the regional centres, providing for member networking and information share.

• First Year Apprentice of the Year • NT Mature Age Achiever • Indigenous Trainee Award • Rae Snodgrass Apprentice of the Year NT Gala Dinner The Branch Gala Dinner is held in Darwin in June each year. The primary purpose of the event is to provide an environment for networking and fellowship; enjoying live entertainment, great food and shared stories with clients, colleagues and other industry participants. This annual function includes both the Earth Awards and the CCFNT Trainee & Apprentice Awards.

Typically functions include information on supplier services to the industry, technology and plant and machinery developments, changes to federal and state/territory legislative requirements, prescribed standards in OH&S, the environment and quality and the status of government procurement programs; amongst other issues of interest and importance to industry.

NT Xmas Luncheon The Branch hosts an annual Xmas Luncheon in December, celebrating the cessation of the ‘Dry Season’ construction period and the arrival of the monsoonal season for much of the Territory.

This function provides and end of year festive occasion for members and guests and reflects the culmination of much activity in the Territory construction landscape. In many cases, this time also signals the reconnection of many in our industry with their family and friends, following extended commitment to projects in remote areas of the Territory.
