The Institute of Public Works Engineering Australasia
IPWEA is the professional organisation
providing member services and advocacy for those involved in and delivering
public works and engineering service in Australia and New Zealand Previously
known as the Institute of Municipal Engineering Australia (IMEA), the
organisation is expanding its traditional local government engineering focus to
the broader public works and thereby covering all tiers of government as well
as the private sector, where we have over 30% of our membership. Almost all of
Australia and New Zealand's professional consultancy firms which specialise in
public sector infrastructure including roads, water, power, rail, ports and
airports - are members of IPWEA. Our private sector members bring thought
leadership, innovation and a commercial focus to IPWEA's industry leadership.
The evolvement of IPWEA maintains the
traditional expertise of local government engineering but by broadening the
base of expertise and experience, adds a new dimension to public works
professionalism in Australia and New Zealand.
