Would you like to help develop the first WIOA National Water Main Tapping Competition?

We’re excited to develop a national competition that brings water main operators together, to continue an industry tradition. And we’re looking for representatives from each state/territory to join the Advisory Group that will make it happen.

Our inaugural Advisory Group Chair, Ben Pennell from City of Gold Coast, said the group would develop rules for the competition, which will replace smaller state-based events. It will be sponsored by Reece Civil and Viadux. The winner will receive a trophy and $1,000 to donate to charity.

“We have previously run this in Queensland, where the winners for the past three competitions have been Trent Roberts and Spencer Stacey,” Ben said.

“Their best time was an impressive 1 minute and 47 seconds. They have hung up their tools and the title will be up for grabs at a national level!”

Please get in touch if you’re interested in joining the Advisory Group. It should involve about 1.5 hours/month for 6 months.

The WIOA Queensland Advisory Committee invites all members to attend the annual Qld McBerns Charity Bowls Day on Friday 1 September 2023, to be held at the Yandina Bowls Club.

Previous events have proved to be a great day and well-received by all in attendance and we are hoping to make the 2023 day a greater success.

WIOA members and their guests are invited to enjoy this networking opportunity and a relaxed game of bowls.  We are aiming to raise over $1,000 at this event and all money raised will be distributed to charities in the Qld Region.
