About
History
In 1972, engineers working in Local Government came together to form the Local Government Engineers Association of Queensland.
In December 1999, the association name was officially changed to the Institute of Public Works Engineering Australia, Queensland Division Inc. (IPWEAQ) after becoming affiliated with the national IPWEA group.
In 2003, the Queensland Water Directorate was established as a business unit of IPWEAQ to act as the central advisory and advocacy body within Queensland’s urban water sector working with its members to provide safe, secure and sustainable urban water services to Queensland communities.
In 2015, a further name change reflecting the expansion of the IPWEA group to New Zealand was made to the Institute of Public Works Engineering Australasia, Queensland and IPWEAQ was also registered as a charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission.
In 2020, IPWEAQ was registered as a Public Company Limited by Guarantee.
In 2021 IPWEAQ expanded its reach to include the Northern Territory which included an update to the name. The official name was changed to the Institute of Public Works and Engineering, Queensland and Northern Territory (IPWEA-QNT).
Purpose
Our purpose is to enhance the quality of life for all Queensland and Northern Territory communities by advancing the skills, knowledge and resources available to those involved in the planning and provision of public works and engineering services.
We do this by focusing on creating a vibrant, vital, supportive community through continued improvement and growth of our community and the adoption of best practices in everything we do.
The four strategic pillars represent a platform that:
Actively share content and information which informs all relevant stakeholders
Membership
Facilitate the bringing together of people and ideas
Elevate the collective views, expertise and professionals of the sector
Advance the capability, capacity and sustainability of the sector
IPWEA-QNT membership serves a wide range of professions across state and local government and the private sector including engineers, technicians, public works directors, asset managers, supervisors and managers, fleet managers, project managers, finance and HR professionals, councilors, contractors, consultants, university students and many other public works professions.
When the membership community comes together at events, it is clear that great pride is taken in the projects delivered because the common goal is making a difference, whether its uniting people physically via roads, bridges and community centres, or perceptually with the sense of enjoyment, safety or convenience the projects bring to the communities we serve.
IPWEA-QNT is divided into five Branch regions, established around groupings of councils with 700+ members and 5000+ sectorcontacts,thenetworkrepresentsa dynamic targeted and engaged community. Thesebranchesinclude:
