Gold win for engineering
MORETON Bay Council took home top prize at the Institute of Public Works Engineering Queensland & Northern Territory Awards, which celebrated the very best in skills, planning, and engineering across Queensland and the Northern Territory.
The City took home gold for its Peninsula Support Hub in the category for projects between $5 million and $10 million, and was also recognised with nominations for the Reconstruction of Essential Public Assets (REPA) Landslip Repairs project, while Senior Project Manager Joel Clotas was nominated for Public Works Professional of the Year.
Moreton Bay Mayor Peter Flannery said the win was a recognition of the calibre and commitment of Council’s teams.
“Our planners, engineers and project managers work diligently to deliver the best outcomes for our community, and this award recognises them as among the very best in Queensland,” he said.
“This win is especially meaningful as the Hub was developed in response to a growing need for coordinated support services and is now home to The Breakfast Club and The Salvation Army.
“Joel’s nomination for Public Works Professional of the Year highlights the exceptional talent, leadership, and dedication within our organisation.”
Council staff worked closely with local organisations to bring the purpose-built Redcliffe facility to life, an achievement now recognised as the best of its kind in Queensland.
The Support Hub is open for services with The Salvation Army operating from 8:30am to 4:30pm Monday to Friday, and The Breakfast Club operating Monday, Wednesday & Friday 7am to 8am, Tuesday and Thursday 9am to 1pm and 4pm to 5:30pm.
