The Honourable Jeff Seeney
Time is running out to secure a place at this year’s Major Projects Conference, to hear from leading industry experts about the key infrastructure projects which will drive the state’s economy in coming years.
Deputy Premier and Minister for State Development, Infrastructure and Planning Jeff Seeney will be joined by more than 30 highly respected industry leaders to outline the importance of major projects to Queensland’s economy.
“The Newman Government is committed to revitalising the economy and a key part of doing that is getting more major infrastructure projects going in Queensland,” Mr Seeney said.
Conference topics include the Surat to Gladstone coal chain, coal seam gas, liquefied natural gas, Queensland's future in gas and the current outlook for coal.
The 11th Annual Major Projects Conference will also address land development, dealing with the fly-in, fly-out industry, energy, planning reform, successful project delivery, and redeveloping the government precinct in Brisbane.
Industry leaders including Stephen Bridger from Xstrata Coal and Brett Smith from the Queensland Gas Company will lead panel discussions.
“This conference is a great opportunity to hear directly from infrastructure experts about major projects in Queensland’s resources, mining and planning sectors, all under one roof in one day,” Mr Seeney said.
“Public and private sectors are continuing to choose Queensland as a great place to invest.
“I encourage anyone who wants to share in a stronger Queensland to register now.”
The conference is aimed at professionals in small to medium sized enterprises as well as those involved in large infrastructure projects.
Delegates can also pose questions to each speaker throughout the day.
More than 900 delegates and business leaders are expected to attend this year’s conference, organised by the Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning.
Attendance at the event on Thursday 22 November, at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, is $595 per person. To register visit www.mpc.qld.gov.au.
