Regional Groups

Public Works practitioners are responsible for the planning and delivery of public works and engineering services to the community. It is important to provide local and regional opportunities for networking and professional development.

The IPWEA (Vic) provides a range of member services that include the benefits of being able to participate in a strong and vibrant regionally based group of public works practitioners.

The opportunity to participate in a regional group will facilitate networking, sharing of information, professional development, and the ability to contribute to Local, State and National agendas.

The Regional Groups have been formed to build on the strength of our strategic alliances and reflect the existing groupings of VicRoads, MWOA and the CCF. The benefits of these arrangements are that we can work cooperatively with our alliance colleagues, which will facilitate knowledge sharing and further develop and strengthen our industry.

The Regional Groups are detailed below and you are encouraged to participate:
