Supporting the Development of Leaders

For over 60 years the Municipal Engineering Foundation Victoria (MEFV) has been supporting the development of leaders across our sector by providing opportunities for engineers/public works professionals working in local government in Victoria to enhance their technical and managerial skills.

The MEFV achieves this purpose through five key actions:

• Providing an overseas study tour to attend the American Public Works Association Annual Congress (PWX) followed by individual study tours within USA and Canada.

• Providing short term study visits and short courses within Australia.

• Awarding the biennial MEFV Municipal Engineering Excellence Award (the Cedric Tuxen Medal) for an outstanding engineering contribution to local government.

• Awarding the Keith Wood Excellence Award to recognise the contribution made to the Foundation and local government engineering presented on an occasional basis to a recipient of an overseas study tour who has produced a report of exceptional quality.

• Building partnerships with the American Public Works Association.

To take advantage of these opportunities further information is proved in the Awards section of this website.
