Australian Capital Territory & New South Wales

  • Overview

Our New South Wales (NSW) & Australian Capital Territory (ACT) branch was formed from the re-joining of IMarEST’s first and oldest international branch, Sydney, with the Newcastle and Canberra Branches.

The Branch’s technical meetings are combined with the New South Wales Section of the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA), and are usually held on the first Wednesday of each month from February through to October. The venue is mostly the Sydney Mechanics’ School of Arts in the CBD, and an easy walk from Town Hall tube station. Meetings commence with light refreshments at 18:00 for 18:30, finishing by 20:00. Guests are always welcome.

Occasionally technical meetings are held at alternate venues, so can be subject to change at short notice. If you need to make extensive arrangements to attend, then please confirm the date, time, and venue with our Honorary Secretary beforehand.
