The Infrastructure Association of QLD (IAQ) Inc was formed in 1994 by a number of interested parties to allow private sector participants involved in the development, ownership or operation of infrastructure projects the opportunity to meet their counterparts and discuss and act upon infrastructure issues which affect the industry as a whole.
Background
The Infrastructure Association of Queensland Inc (IAQ) was formed in 1994 to promote the provision of public infrastructure as a priority for Queensland.
Major Research
From time to time, the IAQ commissions special research into topical infrastructure issues.
Mr Fred Argy OA, undertook an in-depth study into "Private Sector Investment in Queensland Infrastructure: Opportunities and Challenges".
This research provided an independent measure of the Queensland experience.
The IAQ acts cooperatively with other industry bodies to develop information and research papers relevant to infrastructure needs.
Relationship with Government
Since its establishment, the IAQ has developed a reputation as the pivotal private sector infrastructure body in Queensland.
The IAQ consults widely with the Queensland Government and the various local governments throughout Queensland on critical infrastructure policy issues.
The IAQ, in consultation with government, organises major conferences and workshops on a regular basis to address industry and project specific issues.
