Marine Queensland
The Boating Industry Association of Qld. (BIAQ) has changed its name to Marine QueenslandPresident Barry Jenkins said the new name would more accurately describe the BIAQ's services and responsibilities to the marine industry and the boating public.
He said that over the past 18 months the organisation had expanded its activities beyond the narrow dimension of servicing the boating industry which had been its core business since 1974.
"Governments of all levels requested the marine industry speak with a united voice and, as a result, a wide range of industry segments unified under the BIAQ umbrella," said Jenkins.
"The organisation now represents boat builders, distributors, retailers and repairers as well as brokers, surveyors, marina operators and allied services, such as finance and insurance providers."
"The BIAQ has also extended its services to the boating public through BoatClub and industry endorsed boat shows in Brisbane, Townsville, Cairns and Gold Coast."
"Given the broad spectrum of activity within the Queensland marine industry, the board decided it was time for a name change to Marine Queensland to reflect the organisation's change in direction," Jenkins said.
