SUMMARY:QMCA May 2026 Rail Networking Breakfast
DESCRIPTION:Rail projects in Queensland are emerging as a critical component of the State’s expanding infrastructure pipeline\, driven by population growth\, the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games\, and the need for improved transport connectivity across South East Queensland and key regional corridors. \nJoin QMCA and event partner\, Martinus\, as we take a deep dive into Queensland’s substantial program of rail investment. With key projects such as Cross River Rail\, Logan and Gold Coast Faster Rail\, and the Direct Sunshine Coast Line\, rail is a key enabler of economic productivity and urban mobility. \nHowever\, the sector faces the same systemic challenges impacting Queensland’s Major Projects Pipeline: rising costs\, labour shortages\, constrained productivity\, and complex procurement and approval processes. With rail projects contributing significantly to workforce demand\, particularly in Brisbane and South East Queensland and forming part of a pipeline valued at over $127 billion\, their successful delivery will depend on stronger collaboration between government and industry\, improved procurement efficiency\, and targeted investment in skills and capacity to ensure these transformative projects move from planning to delivery with certainty. \nHear from our keynote speakers and a panel of industry experts as to how we best ensure rail is on track for success. \nAt this event\, we will also be saying farewell to Victoria Park. Our home for networking breakfasts for the past seven years.  Victoria Park\, has been essential to QMCA’s success\, as we’ve welcomed thousands of guests to our events. With Victoria Park set to close at the end of May\, join us as we celebrate the end-of-an-era and an exciting future for Brisbane 2032’s showcase venue. \nEvent Partner – Martinus \nMartinus has grown to become one of the leading rail infrastructure construction companies in Australia and New Zealand. We are a privately-owned company which specialise in the delivery of complex medium to large scale rail infrastructure construction. With an experienced civil\, track\, overhead wiring and signalling team\, Martinus is delivering complete rail infrastructure solutions supported by an extensive range of specialised plant and equipment.
