NATIONAL CEO’S REPORT

On 11 November, the Civil Contractors Federation National announced the winners of the 2022 CCF National Earth Awards, and I am pleased to share with you details of the winning projects. The prestigious CCF National Earth Awards recognise excellence in civil construction across a range of sectors. The winners were announced at our Gala Dinner on Friday, 11 November 2022 at the Hotel Realm in Canberra, where 250 people from across the civil construction industry gathered to recognise 47 finalists, all of whom were category winners at the state and territory level.
