Call for Papers Now Open!

The Conference Committee invite you to participate in the IPWEA NSW & ACT State Conference and are now calling for original papers to be provided for presentation. It is crucial that we continue to learn from our peers and utilise innovative techniques to improve existing practices – this is achieved through YOU actively participating and sharing your experiences.

Public Works are developing rapidly with the assistance of innovative technologies and we must investigate clever, more efficient ways to keep up with these recent changes. We must remain on the forefront of identifying emerging technologies, solving contemporary challenges, developing new skills, building networks and retaining existing skills whilst working collaboratively with local communities on environmental matters, promote sustainability, road safety, asset management and technical innovation. Share your experiences with your colleagues as we continue to advance and grow as one.

The State Conference offers a chance for speakers to address both technical and management issues, including challenging situations, new developments, relevant stakeholders and the lessons we can learn from them. The Conference Committee are seeking examples of excellence and innovation that support the future and sustainability of NSW and ACT Communities. All presentation topics must relate and fit into the IPWEA NSW & ACT Advocacy Framework. These include;

• Water Safety and Quality

• Saving Lives on Local Roads

• Innovative Solutions

• World Class Public Works

• Resilience Recovery from Natural Disasters

• Circular Economy

• Economic Prosperity in our Communities

• Increased Funding for Public Works.
