Industry Insights from Renewable Energy Networking Event in Melbourne

Intrax recently attended a leading Renewable Energy Networking Event in Melbourne on 12 March, with team members Braith McClure and Scott Emmett representing the business among more than 230 industry professionals.

The event brought together key stakeholders across the renewable energy sector, including clients, consultants and government representatives. It provided valuable insight into the current state of renewable energy in Victoria, as well as the broader national outlook.

Strong Demand for Engineering Services in Renewable Projects

Throughout the event, there was significant interest in Intrax’s specialist services supporting renewable energy developments, including:

  • Geotechnical engineering
  • Geophysical investigations
  • Drone mapping and surveying
  • Cadastral surveying
  • Structural and Civil engineering

As renewable energy projects continue to expand across Victoria, these services are critical in enabling efficient planning, site analysis and project delivery.

Positive Outlook for Renewable Energy in Victoria

A key theme from the event was the strong pipeline of renewable energy projects and a positive growth trajectory for the sector. Industry discussions point to a steady increase in activity expected through to FY27, reinforcing confidence in long-term investment and development across wind, solar and infrastructure projects.

Supporting the Future of Renewable Infrastructure

Intrax remains committed to supporting the growth of renewable energy in Victoria through integrated engineering and surveying solutions. Events like this provide an important opportunity to stay connected with industry trends, strengthen partnerships and better understand the evolving needs of the sector.

Thank you to Phillip Riley for hosting a highly valuable and well-attended event.
