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.

SUMMARY:International Women in Engineering Day Breakfast
DESCRIPTION:Join QMCA\, NAWIC Qld and DT Infrastructure as we celebrate International Women in Engineering Day. \nInternational Women in Engineering Day began in the UK in 2014 as a National campaign by the Women’s Engineering Society. Since then\, INWED has grown enormously\, receiving UNESCO patronage in 2016 and going truly global the following year. 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. However\, more can still be done to increase female participation\, promote careers and pathways in engineering\, and ensure that we can attract and retain the best talent in infrastructure and engineering. \nAt our International Women in Engineering Day breakfast\, join QMCA and keynote female leaders from across the industry as we celebrate women’s achievements in infrastructure and address the challenges and barriers that prevent greater female participation. \nJoin us for a unique event. Book your place – grab a table\, get involved in this event\, and celebrate the fantastic women in the construction industry. This event will sell out\, so secure your tickets early to avoid missing out. \nEvent Partner – DT Infrastructure \nDT Infrastructure is a leading provider of complex infrastructure solutions to clients in the transport\, defence\, and energy sectors. As part of the Gamuda group of companies\, DT Infrastructure offers a unique synergy of local expertise and relationships and the support of global infrastructure and property multi-national\, Gamuda Berhad. Our focus on collaborative contracting\, leading sustainability practices and efficient engineering results in the successful delivery of projects for clients\, communities\, and stakeholders.
