The Queensland Master Builders Association Industrial Organisation Of Employers (Master Builders Queensland) is an industry organisation[1][2] that represents the interests of the building and construction sector in the Australian state of Queensland.[3]
In 2018 Master Builders Queensland was named Association of the Year at the Association Awards, held by the Associations Forum.[4]
History
[edit]Founded in 1882 as the Builders and Contractors Association of Queensland, the association was formed in an attempt to counter the highs and lows of economic conditions for builders.[5] During this period, Queensland was experiencing growth and development, and the need for a united industry representation became increasingly evident.[5]
In a 1922 report, Master Builders Queensland’s member numbers were reported as a total of 131.[6]
Membership numbers in the 1951 Annual Report stated 300 total members, and noted branches in Rockhampton, Toowoomba, Townsville and Mackay, along with the main Brisbane branch.[7]
Notable presidents have included Manuel Hornibrook[5]: 69 , Jack Hutchinson[5]: 82 and John Pidgeon[5]: 142 .
Membership numbers as of 2023 were reported to be 9,800.[8]
Awards
[edit]Master Builders Queensland hosts annual awards named the Housing & Construction Awards. The awards span housing categories, including residential new builds and renovation, display houses and multi-residential builds, and construction categories.
Some notable Queensland buildings have been winners of awards, including:
Master Builder magazine
[edit]Master Builders Queensland publishes a magazine, called Master Builder, quarterly.[15] Master Builders’ first edition was published on 15 August 1963 and was “widely anticipated, with welcome messages from the Queensland Premier Frank Nicklin, Brisbane Lord Mayor Clem Jones and State Treasurer ad Minister for Housing Thomas Hiley”.[16]
