    The Australia and New Zealand Region of the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers was established in 1987, reaching its 30 th Anniversary in 2017. The CIBSE Heritage Group has produced this electronic story recording the early history of building engineering services in Australia and New Zealand and its development in the 30 years of the CIBSE Region. Front Cover: Deutsche Bank, Sydney, 2005 (Haden) Back Cover: Acrylic Model of the Sydney Opera House, 1973 C IBSE AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND I n 1987, there were some 200 members of CIBSE working in Australia, which led to the proposal to create an Australian CIBSE Region. It was believed that the Institution’s Charter would be better served if the Region ha d a seat on Council, enhancing the recognition and professional standing of Building Services Engineers in Australia. The first Committee of the Australian CIBSE Region was created in Sydney in May 1987 when John Tyerman was elected Chairman. State Chapt ers were created: New South Wales and Australia Capital Territory (ACT); Queensland; South Australia and Northern Territory (NT); Victoria; and Western Australia. The aims of the Committee included providing an active programme of technical meetings and se minars within the Chapters and encouraging networking among members. In 1989, the 2 nd CIBSE Australian Conference Building for the 21 st Century was held in Sydney, and in 1991, CIBSE CEng was recognised as qualifying for membership of the Institute of Eng ineering Australia as Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng). In 1992, New Zealand was inaugurated as the 6 th Chapter of the Australian CIBSE Region.
