Queensland stands at the crossroads of opportunity.
There is a strong pipeline of projects, including the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, bringing once in a generation economic, social, and cultural opportunities for the state, but these opportunities are not without their challenges.
These challenges will require collaborative and decisive action across all levels of government and industry.
Our members invest in, design, build and manage places that matter to Queenslanders and through our advocacy, we’re ensuring the voices of our members are heard on the issues that matter to them.
