The nation’s best electrical and
communications projects have been
recognised at the annual electrical and
communications industry’s Excellence
Awards, hosted by the National
Electrical and Communications
Association (NECA).
State winners from across Australia
attended this year’s event at the Hilton
Brisbane.
Three Victorian projects and two
from each of New South Wales,
Western Australia, Tasmania and
Queensland received the top national
awards in front of 350 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.
“These projects are the best and
most innovative we have seen over
the past 12 months,” said Suresh
Manickam, NECA CEO. “They clearly
enrich our industry and reinforce the
strong reputation of our sector.”
NECA congratulates all of our 2015
winners and wishes to acknowledge
the ongoing support of the electrical
and communications contracting
sector for making the Awards such a
resounding success,” he concluded.
