Standard Drawings
DEC 2023 - NEW STANDARD DRAWINGS NOW AVAILABLE!!
In 1995, IPWEA-QNT published 96 Drawings developed by industry for local government in Queensland. The Drawings have been updated multiple times since by the Standard Drawings Working Group.
The purpose of these Standard Drawings is to provide the QLD public works sector with a consistent guide to construction of civil infrastructure making compliance easier for councils, authorities, manufacturers, consultants & contractors. Each drawing reflects the latest and best practices with up-to-date specifications for current land developments and are commonly referenced in council planning schemes and are an important technical reference for those working on public works projects in Queensland.

Working Group
The Standard Drawings are the product of years of hard work and the contribution from volunteers who make up the IPWEA-QNT Standard Drawing Working Group. The Working Group meet regularly to review any industry feedback and suggested changes which will result in updates to the Standard Drawings from time to time. This process is intended to ensure that the Drawings remain up-to-date and relevant.
Below is a list of the working group members who have been instrumental in the development of these important Standard Drawings used in QLD public works projects and beyond.
