The 2016 NECA National Excellence & Future Stars Awards

Winners

The nation’s best electrical and

communications projects, and our three

apprentice-of-the-year winners, were

recognised at the annual electrical and

communications industry’s Excellence Awards

in Canberra in November.

State winners from across Australia

attended the event at the Hyatt Hotel,

Canberra and heard from guest speaker,

Senator Bridget McKenzie, the Chair of

Senate Education and Employment Legislation

Committee about skills development, reforms

to the Vocational Education and Training sector

and the need for the return of the Austrian

Building and Construction Commission.

Six Victorian projects, one New South

Wales project, one Australian Capital

Territory project and three Western Australia

projects received the top national awards

in front of 300 industry representatives

including contractors, educators and

government representatives. New South

Wales and Australian Capital Territory also

received commendations on projects that

were narrowly beaten by the overall

category winners.

On the same night some of Australia’s

brightest electrical apprentices were also

announced. This year’s guest speaker at the

“Future Stars” event was Alan Tongue, the

former captain of the Canberra Raiders NRL

Club. Alan, a former apprentice himself, is

an Australian Apprenticeship Ambassador

and was recently named as the ACT’s 2017

Australian of the Year.

And our two trade teachers sharing this

year’s award were Glenn McMurtrie and

Brett Jotta.
