NAWIC QLD and Australian Institute of Building - Queensland Chapter held their annual CPD Breakfast last week, bringing together three diverse perspectives to discuss an extremely important topic – how to build social housing at scale.

A huge thank you to our incredible speakers:
🔸Karen Ognibene from KO&CO Architecture for speaking to the design elements that are beneficial to build adaptability and residency comfort.
🔸Jamie Coe showcased Hutchinson Builders and how modular construction can have significant impacts when labour and location have their challenges.
🔸Closed out by Dale Connor who spoke to Built Living partnership and how the prefabrication has a place in large scale.

Thanks to Rita Elliott for being a wonderful emcee and to Rebecca Young who openly shared her passion for providing homes for our communities.

Thank you to everyone who joined us!

Thank you to CPB Contractors for hosting NAWIC QLD on a site tour of the Clapham Yard Cross River Rail Delivery Authority project.

More than an opportunity to get behind the construction hoarding, the tour gave attendees from diverging roles in the construction industry, valuable insight into the scale and complexity of delivering major transport infrastructure and the different elements that must come together to make a project of this size operational.

The project team provided an in-depth update on the Moolabin Creek bridge, traffic crew building, Moorooka Station, Clapham Yard stabling roads and the Clapham Yard maintenance facility, sharing the progress being made across the site and the role each component will play in the wider rail network. The impressive facility will play a vital role in the reliability and efficiency of South East Queensland’s rail network.

A big thank you to the CPB Contractors team for their generosity in sharing their knowledge and opening the site to NAWIC QLD members. Experiences like this provide a valuable opportunity to see major projects up close, learn directly from the people delivering them and gain insights that simply cannot be replicated in a boardroom.

👀Keep an eye on NAWIC QLD's upcoming events for future opportunities to get behind the scenes of some of Queensland’s most significant projects.

🌟 A Special Recognition: The QBCC Young Achiever Award🌟

We’re proud to recognise the QBCC Young Achiever Award, proudly sponsored by the Queensland Building and Construction Commission - QBCC, as part of the NAWIC Queensland Awards.

This is a special award recognising an exceptional individual under the age of 27 who is already making a meaningful impact across Queensland’s construction and infrastructure industry.

What makes this award particularly special is that it was handled separately from the standard nominations program. Rather than inviting nominations specifically for the Young Achiever Award, the recipient was identified through the strength and calibre of nominations received across all NAWIC Queensland Awards categories.

From these nominations, we looked for a young professional who stood out for their leadership, initiative, achievements, contribution to the industry and potential to shape its future.

🏆 This award is about recognising someone who is already making their mark — and celebrating the incredible emerging talent within our industry.

A huge thank you to QBCC for supporting this special award and helping us shine a light on the next generation of Queensland’s construction leaders.

🎟️ Tickets are on sale! Be part of an evening celebrating the achievements, leadership and excellence of women across Queensland's construction industry.
