The receipients of the Municipal Engineering Foundation Study Tour Awards for 2010 were recognised at the Awards Recognition Luncheon on Friday 9th July 2010. Held at the picturesque Green Acres Golf Course the event attracted some 60 supporters (most of which are IPWEAvic members) to wish the awardees well. WHK Melbourne part sponsored the event and Damien Smith gave a presentation relating to wealth management.
The selected members will travel to USA, Canada and UK during August to attend the APWA Congress in Boston, Ma and then research topics of interest to engineering within local government in Victoria. Reports on this research will be published on this website on completion of the study tour. Details of scholarship recipients are:
- Senaviratna Abeykoon, Manager Infrastructure Assets, Strathbogie Shire Council
- Paula Gardiner, Manager Capital Works, Colac Otway Shire Council
- Philip Jeffrey, Executive Manager Assets & Projects, Moorabool Shire Council
- Raj Manihar, Environmental Coordinator, Baw Baw Shire Council
The study participants leave Australia in 3 weeks supervised by an MEFvic Trustee. We wish them a sucessful tour and look forward to reading their study reports and findings upon return to Australia.
