Enhancing the quality of life for all Queensland communities

Our Knowledge Centre is an essential resource for anyone involved in public works in Queensland. 

The IPWEAQ Knowledge Centre is fully searchable by subject, key words, speaker/author, event, type (image, podcast, articles, PowerPoint etc) or by date. It includes articles, PowerPoint presentations, podcasts, reports, case studies, recent media and other information on engineering in the public works sector of interest to Queensland practitioners. 

Much of the content in the Knowledge Centre is restricted to IPWEAQ members. If you are not a member of IPWEAQ, you may wish to join. 


Content is also restricted to subscribers of our Standard Drawings and other publications eg QUDM, Lower Order Road Design Guidelines (LORDG) and Complete Streets.


Conference podcasts are only accessible to paid conference delegates or subscribers. If you attended the 2017 state conference in Townsville and are not able to access the podcasts, please contact our Information Resources Manager, Mark Lamont.


If you are unable to access particular sections of the Knowledge Centre ('zero' items will display if you are not entitled to access) and wish to subscribe to our technical publications, please contact our Information Resources Manager, Mark Lamont or Ross Guppy, Director, Technical Products.
