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.

The day highlights the amazing work of women in engineering and technical roles across our industry. \nAs an industry\, we have undoubtedly come a long way\, with QMCA and member companies supporting and driving positive change.

SUMMARY:QMCA Networking Event 29 July 2026 - Demolition\, Remediation and Recycling
DESCRIPTION:Demolition\, Remediation and Recycling Breakfast \nAs Queensland’s major infrastructure pipeline increasingly shifts towards complex brownfield projects\, demolition\, remediation and resource recovery have become critical to successful project delivery. Join the Queensland Major Contractors Association and Perfect Contracting for a timely industry breakfast exploring the latest developments in demolition practices\, contaminated land remediation\, recycling and the sustainable reuse of materials across major infrastructure projects. Hear from leading industry experts as they discuss how the sector is evolving to meet growing environmental expectations\, changing regulations and the increasing complexity of delivering projects in constrained and previously developed environments. The program will feature keynote presentations followed by an interactive panel discussion covering topics including: \n\nThe Qld Government’s new recycling strategy and specific focus for the construction industry\nThe changing role of demolition in modern infrastructure delivery\nManaging contamination and remediation on major projects\nRecycling\, recovery and responsible disposal of construction materials\nInnovative uses of recycled materials to improve sustainability outcomes\nEmerging technologies\, techniques and industry best practice\n\nWhether you are a contractor\, subcontractor\, consultant\, supplier or specialist service provider\, this breakfast will provide valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities shaping Queensland’s infrastructure sector. \nThis event is ideal for organisations looking to stay ahead of evolving project requirements\, strengthen their understanding of current industry practices and connect with professionals delivering some of the state’s most significant infrastructure projects. \nJoin us for an informative morning of industry insights\, practical discussion and valuable networking with leaders from across Queensland’s construction sector. \nEvent Partner \nPerfect Contracting provides ISO certified\, unrestricted demolition\, decommissioning and remediation services across Australia. Our principal contractor clients come to us because we solve the complex front end technical challenges that negatively impact project schedules\, costs\, and delivery. \nImplementing a proven approach to early contractor involvement (ECI)\, we help project owners reduce risks and costs arising from contamination\, poorly scoped methodology\, hazmat removal\, and non-compliance with regulations. \nFor over fifteen years\, we‘ve been a proud partner to the construction sector in Australia\, specialising in high risk\, technically complex projects. We thrive in environments that demand innovation\, resourcefulness\, and intelligent engineering solutions and are committed to project success for our clients and communities in which we work. With major infrastructure and Olympics projects primed for delivery over the coming decade\, our team is ready to work with QMCA members to deliver safely\, successfully\, and sustainably.
