It was fantastic to see so many great people and projects honoured at the Australian Institute of Project Management (AIPM) chapter awards last Friday. Special mention goes out to my former Aurecon Defence cohort who collected recognition in so many categories. I was privileged to receive the Senior Project Professional of the year in the Northern Territory. Huge thanks to all the amazing project teams I've worked with over the years and that have supported me through thick and thin.

Absolute pleasure to attend the Australian Institute of Project Management (AIPM) awards last night, the #PMAA for 2024 was held in Canberra and was a great showcase of the amazing projects and project professionals we have around the country. It was fantastic to spend some time with the brilliant people that work at Aurecon and in particular my 2022/23 team mates on GWEO - Storage and Distribution. The program of works came away from the evening recognised as the National Professional Services project of the year. Special shouts to Ian Layzell Tyson Jones & Sean Weier (and although she wasn't there last night Cassie Gleeson)

The Maritime Industry Forum hosted by NORSTA Maritime in Darwin on 1st October 1st provided valuable insights into the Royal Australian Navy's evolving Maritime Sustainment Model in Northern Australia, with a specific strategic emphasis on Darwin. The forum featured key-note presentations from influential figures such as Luke Gosling OAM MP, Commodore Bradley Smith (Director General Major Surface Ships), Todd Tippet (Acting Assistant Secretary Specialist Systems), Georgia Davey (NORSTA Program Manager), John Manners (NORSTA Maintenance Services Manager), and Lucas Fiddaman (Defence NT Industry Development Manager). The discussions highlighted the growing maritime capabilities in the region and set the stage for future sustainment programs. The Q&A session was particularly well-received, reinforcing the importance of transparency and open communication among stakeholders. Events like this continue to play a vital role in keeping all parties engaged and informed about the progress of key sustainment projects for the Royal Australian Navy.

As many of you are aware, cancer deeply affects families around us. One of our extended NORSTA Team members has grown up understanding the challenges that come with this terrible disease. With one of the most visible and emotional side effects being the loss of hair, which can be incredibly difficult, especially for children. In a heartfelt effort to help, one of our NORSTA Team member’s eldest daughter, Isabella, has decided to donate her hair, grown since 3 years of age, to the Kids With Cancer Foundation Australia for her 7th birthday. Her donation will be made into a wig for a child who has lost their hair due to cancer treatment. We at NORSTA are incredibly proud of her for making this selfless choice. To further support this cause, Isabella would really appreciate any small donation you can make. Your generosity will not only help provide wigs but also fund vital support services for these young fighters and their families. If you’re able to contribute, please donate here here https://lnkd.in/gSiYw42s Every little bit helps, and together, we can bring some comfort and confidence to a child during their treatment. Thank you so much for your support. #KidsWithCancer
