The Board held its October meeting this month and for the first time in several months was able to meet face-to-face. While having to take additional health precautions I believe in-person meetings are far more useful with better discussion and decision making. The Board is in the process of finalising various compliance and disciplinary matters which should provide learnings for the profession.

One matter that has settled already is published in this e-news issue. The matter – which was a disciplinary matter – before the Board was whether N’s (the de-identified RPEQ) conduct could give rise to a reasonable belief that he failed to achieve the relevant engineering standards in his performance of the ‘professional engineering services’, and accordingly, whether his conduct might constitute ‘unsatisfactory professional conduct’ for the purposes of the PE Act.

BPEQ’s complaints and investigations process is in focus at the moment ahead of the commencement date of the PE Act amendments to expand BPEQ’s investigative powers. This week BPEQ presented at an Engineer’s Australia hosted seminar where we discussed the PE Act, the amendments and the complaints and investigations process. An article on the complaints and investigations process as relates to the conduct of RPEQs appears in this e-news issue.

'...reasonable belief that he failed to achieve the relevant engineering standards in his performance of the ‘professional engineering services’...'

Continuing our profiles on great RPEQs as part of BPEQ’s 90 year anniversary we are focusing on Dr Marlene Kanga. Dr Kanga has been listed among the 100 engineers that have contributed to Australian engineering at the centenary of Engineers Australia, in 2019, and among Australia’s top 10 women engineers

A word from the Chair

In 2020, BPEQ turns 90. To celebrate this milestone BPEQ is acknowledging the achievements, projects, innovations, discoveries and stories of RPEQs past and present.

Dr Marlene Kanga AM is a chartered chemical engineer and has been a RPEQ since 2012.

Marlene has been listed among the 100 engineers that have contributed to Australian engineering at the centenary of Engineers Australia, in 2019, and among Australia’s top 10 women engineers (March 2019) and is recognised as a Westpac Women of Influence.

Marlene is a significant engineering leader in Australia and internationally.

Marlene was National President of Engineers Australia (2013), the second woman to do so in 97 years, and President of the World Federation of Engineering Organisations (WFEO) in 2018-2019, leading engineering institutions from 100 nations and representing more than 30 million engineers. She was a board member of Engineers Australia for seven years (Chair in 2013) and is currently a board member of WFEO for 2015-2021 (having also served as Chair in 2017-2019).

'[She is] among Australia’s top 10 women engineers (March 2019) and is recognised as a Westpac Women of Influence.'

Marlene is an advocate of the role of science and engineering in driving the economy and enabling social and economic benefits. As President of WFEO, she successfully led the proposal to declare 4 March every year as ‘World Engineering Day’, the first international day for engineering, declared by UNESCO and celebrated for the first time in March 2020. Her message on the role of engineers in advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals for a

holistic approach to development that encompasses the impacts on people, the planet and the economy has been embraced widely by the engineering profession. More than 80 events in 40 nations celebrated the inaugural World Engineering Day in March 2020. The day will be celebrated every year going forward as an opportunity to promote engineering and engineering careers especially to young people.

LEGAL ARTICLE

Understanding BPEQ's complaints and investigations processOne of BPEQ’s key functions is to conduct or authorise investigations about the professional conduct of RPEQs and contraventions of the Professional Engineers Act 2002 (PE Act). BPEQ’s disciplinary and compliance investigation processes help protect the public, maintain public confidence in RPEQs, and maintain the standard of practice of RPEQs.

The article will focus on investigations about the professional conduct of RPEQs.

PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT

Complaints

The most common way that concerns about the conduct of RPEQs come to BPEQ’s attention is through a formal complaint (Figure 1). Any person who is aggrieved by that conduct can make a complaint to BPEQ about the conduct of a RPEQ in carrying out professional engineering services. Once BPEQ has received a complaint it will be assessed and clarified and a submission may be sought from the RPEQ in question. BPEQ will then decide:

1. whether the complaint is a proper complaint; and

2. if so, whether an investigation is warranted.

Own-motion investigations

BPEQ can also conduct ‘own-motion’ investigations of the conduct of RPEQs, which is an investigation that is triggered other than by a formal complaint. BPEQ regularly receives information about the conduct of RPEQs from members of the public, government, and industry and conducts or authorises investigations based on such information.

Once BPEQ receives information about the conduct of a RPEQ that raises concern about the standard of conduct of the RPEQ, it will assess and clarify that information and may seek a submission from the RPEQ. BPEQ will then decide:

1. whether the information gives rise to a reasonable belief that an aspect of the conduct of the RPEQ may provide a ground for disciplining the RPEQ; and

2. if so, whether an investigation is warranted.

Investigation process

Once BPEQ has decided to conduct or authorise an investigation of the conduct of a RPEQ, the RPEQ and, if the investigation was because of a complaint, the complainant will be notified of the decision. The RPEQ will be given the opportunity to make a submission to BPEQ or the investigator/s about the complaint and then BPEQ or its investigator/s will commence the investigation. BPEQ and its investigator/s have the power to compel the production of information from any person and to require any person to attend to answer questions and/or produce particular documents. Failure to comply with any such requirement is a criminal offence.

BPEQ always progresses its investigations as quickly as possible having regard to the nature of the matter under investigation. Once an investigation has been completed, an investigation report is prepared and the Board is asked to consider its post-investigation decision.

Post-investigation decisions

After an investigation is completed and BPEQ has considered the formal investigation report, BPEQ must make one or more of the following post-investigation decisions concerning the RPEQ the subject of the investigation:

1. start a disciplinary proceeding against the RPEQ;

2. enter into an undertaking, agreed with the RPEQ, about an aspect of the RPEQ carrying out professional engineering services;

3. caution or reprimand the RPEQ;

4. impose a condition, agreed with the RPEQ, on the RPEQ’s registration;

5. take no further action about the matter the subject of the investigation.

Which option/s is chosen is highly dependent on the findings of BPEQ’s investigation.

Administrative actions

The administrative decision options—undertaking, caution/reprimand, registration condition, and no further action—are actioned by BPEQ itself. The particulars of all cautions, reprimands, and registration conditions are recorded on BPEQ’s register of RPEQs and decisions to caution or reprimand, and the reasons therefore, may be notified by BPEQ on its website.

BPEQ decisions to caution or reprimand are reviewable in the administrative review jurisdiction of the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT). Undertakings are confidential between BPEQ and the RPEQ. BPEQ does not have the power to impose financial penalties on RPEQs, cancel, or suspend RPEQs’ registration for the existence of a disciplinary ground. That power rest solely with QCAT.

Disciplinary proceedings

Disciplinary proceedings against RPEQs are taken in QCAT. QCAT then has the role of deciding whether BPEQ’s application is made out and a ground for disciplining the RPEQ in question is established. If QCAT decides a ground to discipline the RPEQ exists it may reprimand the RPEQ, impose a monetary penalty, or suspend or cancel the RPEQ’s registration. QCAT may also order the RPEQ to pay some or all of BPEQ’s costs of the investigation, preparing for the disciplinary proceeding, and the proceeding itself.

QCAT decisions are, unless a non-publication record is made, a matter of public record and are published on QCAT’s website, the Supreme Court Library of Queensland website, and the Australasian Legal Information Institute website. BPEQ’s current policy is to publish information about disciplinary proceedings with the RPEQ deidentified, because the main purpose of publishing the decisions is as a learning tool for other RPEQs.

Information Privacy

Information obtained by BPEQ in performance of its investigative function is subject to privacy obligations and will only be disclosed in accordance with information privacy legislation.

The Queensland water sector is facing major challenges and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Chiefly among these are climate change and ageing assets. Advances in technology, markets and planning may help overcome these challenges to some extent, but policy and regulatory changes may also be needed to ensure the resilience of the Queensland (and Australian) water supply in the coming decades.

FORCES IMPACTING INDUSTRY Ageing infrastructure is a significant (and possibly the biggest) issue facing the water industry today. There are 678 municipal sewerage treatment plants across Australia, around 60 per cent of which were built between 1930 and 1980. Historically, these are structures which could be described as monolithic and virtually impenetrable, being designed to last decades.

Such robust construction often makes it difficult and expensive to adapt or repurpose the existing infrastructure, or to have them suit modern technology. It is cost and time that many asset owners cannot afford.

Another issue that will (without intervention) continue to pose difficulty for the industry is restrictive governance. Water is an essential service and therefore will always be regulated, but there is a need to reconsider how we regulate the water

industry and regulate in a way that allows and encourages innovation and change. These issues with governance are compounded by the fact that regulation differs vastly from state to state.

Even at the end of an asset’s serviceable life, and with the interests of a council and private entity aligned, recent

experience has shown that offloading an asset to the private entity for repurposing can prove a difficult

and time-consuming endeavour.

Another hurdle for the water industry is, of course, climate change. As some parts

of Australia get drier while others get wetter, attention needs to be paid to

how we navigate these changing weather patterns to ensure

continuity and reliability of water supply.

THE ‘NEXT BIG THING’ IN WATER In light of these issues, what might be the ‘next big thing’ in the water sector?

Adaptive infrastructure (adaptive thinking?) is

arguably one. There is a need to look at water assets

differently, not only in terms of what can be done with the

existing infrastructure at the end of their serviceable lives, but also

in terms of the planning and design of replacement and new infrastructure. In a word,

‘innovation’, is needed. Design engineers, it’s time to shine.

Engineering Water 2020 – what next?

By Suzy Cairney, Grace Power and Andrew Statham

BPEQ E-news Issue 72 October 2020

Of course, that innovation is required arguably leads to a second big thing needed, being collaborative contracting. Particularly when it comes to repurposing an aged asset, a collaborative contracting approach might be suitable as a means of tackling the challenges involved. Collaborative contracting can mean different things to different people, each with their own appetite for collaboration. It is quite valid for there to be different degrees of collaboration. No one-size model need fit all projects. However, risk being distributed more equitably and suitably, within a framework in which innovation can flourish, might be a good place to begin. This may encourage parties to tackle any risks involved, adopting a ‘we’re all in this together’ mindset.

CONCLUSION There is a desperate need for adaptation – adapting ageing infrastructure to accommodate new technologies, adapting to climate change, adapting laws and regulations governing the water industry to best suit the needs of all stakeholders and, arguably most importantly, adapting our way of thinking.

The challenges facing the water industry are here, and they are not going away. Innovation and collaborating contracting might just be what’s needed. What is clear though, is that it will be up to engineers, perhaps the more innovative and daring among you, to solve these challenges. So who is going to step up?

LEGAL ARTICLECASE NOTE

Board disciplines registered engineer

This was an internal disciplinary proceeding brought by the Board of Professional Engineers of Queensland (Board) against a RPEQ (deidentified as N).

N’S BACKGROUND N had 10 years’ plus experience as a RPEQ.

BACKGROUND OF NOTIFICATION In early 2018, the Board received a complaint from a representative of a resort located in Queensland. The complaint alleged that N had provided ‘professional engineering services’ for the resort namely, the design and certification of a roof structure for the resort.

The complaint alleged that the as-constructed roof structure which N had designed and certified by way of Form 15 and Form 16 certificates, deflected when vinyl shade sails were affixed and tensioned to it thereby indicating that the roof structure was not capable of bearing the loads applied to it by the shade sails.

The resort sought N’s assistance to rectify the observed deflection. Initially N agreed and did provide some assistance. However, a short while after, N declined to provide any further assistance and terminated his contract with the resort.

Consequently, the resort was left with the cost of rectifying the structure.

CONDUCT OF N N maintained that there had been a miscommunication and/or misunderstanding in relation to his engagement.

N stated that he was not privy to relevant communications between the builder and the shade sail contractor. N maintained that he understood that the structure which he was required to design and certify (Portal Frame) was a frame for a fabric or plastic membrane to be placed over (rather than tensioned onto).

N maintained that his conduct as a RPEQ was appropriate in the circumstances of the limited engagement. N acknowledged a miscommunication in the course of providing the services and asserted that the absence of a clear scope of works contributed to the circumstances giving rise to the investigation by the Board.

ISSUE The issue before the Board was whether N’s conduct could give rise to a reasonable belief that he failed to achieve the relevant engineering standards in his performance of the ‘professional engineering services’, and accordingly, whether his conduct might constitute ‘unsatisfactory professional conduct’ for the purposes of the Professional Engineers Act 2002 (Act).

BOARD’S DECISION The Board decided to caution N under section 73(2)(c) of the Act.

The Board considered the submissions provided by N. However, the Board ultimately placed more weight on the evidence provided by the Board’s appointed expert.

The Board’s expert concluded that:

• There was sufficient information available to show a vinyl membrane/sail was intended to be installed; and

• N’s conduct in relation to the professional engineering services he provided to the complainant can be reasonably assessed as falling short of what the public or his professional peers would expect.

The Board also agreed that even if it can be shown N was not initially aware a membrane/sail was to be attached to his design, there was ample opportunity for him to become aware and advise the relevant parties prior to the framework inspection (Form 16) being issued.

LESSONS FOR THE PROFESSION RPEQs should always take care when carrying out professional engineering services, this includes services which may be considered minor with limited financial value (i.e. small scale, low value projects).

RPEQs’ professional responsibilities are not diminished simply by a project being of a small scale or of a low value.

Good communication is critical from the start to the finish of a project, as is having a thorough understanding of the scope of works.
